Creators

Description

A scientific conference about the Oklo phenomenon took place in Gabon in West Africa on 23-27 June this year. The conference was arranged jointly by the International Atomic Energy Agency, the Gabonese Authorities and the French Atomic Energy Commission, CEA. The Oklo phenomenon, which is named after a uranium mine in Gabon, is of considerable interest to geologists, isotope geochemists and reactor physicists, as it has been discovered that nuclear reactions took place within the rich uranium ore body over a period of at least 100000 years, some 1800 million years ago.
