The Role of Mass Spectrometry to study the Oklo-Bangome Natural Reactors

The discovery of the existence of chain reactions at the Oklo natural reactors in Gabon, Central Africa in 1972 was a triumph for the accuracy of mass spectrometric measurements, in that a 0.5% anomaly in the 235U/238U ratio of certain U ore samples indicated a depletion in 235U. Mass spectrometric...
