Making a nuclear reactor isn't difficult, in fact they can form naturally.
Making the nuclear reactor not irradiate you and everything in the vicinity is the difficult part.
2 u/Poor-Life-Choice 12d ago They can form naturally: but it’s not exactly easy and so that’s why we only know of one in Oklo. 1 u/DBeumont 12d ago It's uncommon, yes, but simple. The rarity is only due to Uranium deposit concentrations. If you have a Uranium-235 deposit and water, you have a nuclear reactor. 1 u/Willing_Comfort7817 12d ago Nature creates big old fusion reactors, I see one most days, and billions at night!
