Extrodinary claims require extrodinary proof. Please support your

There is extensive information on the natural nuclear reactors at Oklo.

Hmmm. What sites are you refering to? The Nevada nuclear weapons site has
demonstrated how little plutonium migrates via groundwater. In spite of
more than 800 nuclear weapons blowing plutonium into small pieces, and
inspite of those weapons cracking the beejeebers out of the surrounding
rock, the plutonium migration is measured in picocuries per liter. Your
own body emits thousands of times as much radiation.

If extreme conditions, such as detonating more than 800 nuclear weapons,
produces conditions with that little plutonium migration, I think we have
bigger things to worry about than burried, contained, glassified
plutonium.
