Abstract
In 1972 evidence was discovered that a body of uranium ore found at Oklo in Gabon, Africa, had once been a natural reactor. At least six reactor zones existed in the pre-Cambrian rock found at Oklo. Some have believed that the evidence indicates an age of 1.9 billion years for the reactors. In this paper, arguments are presented which show that the data are consistent with a more recent date for the self-sustaining chain reaction which was achieved - a date, in fact, which would be compatible with young-Earth Creationism.
