In 1972, miners sent uranium ore samples to Francis Perrin, who realized the ore contained an anomaly. Most uranium ore contains around 0.720% Uranium-235, but this sample had 0.717%., a minor, yet significant difference. Further investigation of the Oklo Mine in Gabon, Africa revealed evidence of fission products, like those that would come from a modern nuclear reactor. Amazed by the finding, they soon stumbled onto another scientists research, Paul Kuroda who in 1956 predicted that natural nu
