This paper is a request from several people asking me to write about ancient nuclear reactor. As we know, the stories circulating the internet about the existence of ancient nuclear explosions are still a puzzle. The evidence emerged from a mine in Oklo, Mohenjo Daro in the ghost town and Harappa up to a giant crater in Bombay. But whether a nuclear explosion antiquity really exist?
Maybe some of you have never read this story before. For those who have not, it will probably be a bit confusing. The story is this:
It is said that the archaeologists found evidence that a nuclear war never happened in ancient times. Thus, nuclear technology is already known by our ancestors. Is this true?Some sources on the internet quoting a paragraph from the book that claimed to be part of the quote the Mahabharata to prove the existence of a nuclear war in ancient times.However, the problem is one, most of the stories you read on the internet is a hoax!
I say "most of the hoax" because it's not all a hoax. I will show you which is not a hoax and.
DIFFERENCES IN NUCLEAR REACTORS AND EXPLOSION
First, this story should be divided into two parts, namely NUCLEAR REACTORS NUCLEAR EXPLOSION ancient and primordial. Many people do not know these differences so that they mix up the story of an ancient nuclear reactor with an ancient nuclear explosion.
NUCLEAR REACTOR is a facility or equipment in which nuclear chain reactions are initiated, controlled and held in a fixed condition. While NUCLEAR EXPLOSION is an uncontrolled chain reaction that comes from a nuclear bomb. So a nuclear reactor can be used to produce nuclear BOM can be a nuclear EXPLOSION. Very different is it?
Well, a little easier, I'll put it this way, NUCLEAR REACTORS ancient story, is true.NUCLEAR EXPLOSION ancient story is a hoax.
NUCLEAR REACTORS PURBA
The story of ancient nuclear reactor began in 1972. At that time, the nuclear fuel processing facility Pierrelatte, French scientist named Bougzigues working routine analysis of uranium that has been extracted from uranium ore. then he noticed something strange from uranium ore examined.
Uranium has three isotopes with different atomic masses with different proportions, namely: as many as 99 274% U 238, U 235 and U as much as 0720% 0005% 234 total.
Uranium 235 is the most sought uranium all over the world for its ability to withstand a nuclear reaction and the uranium is used in modern nuclear reactors. Anywhere on earth, uranium 235 atom to form 0.720 percent of the total uranium. However, samples held by it only has a 0.717 percent. This suggests that this uranium sample had experienced reactions release energy (fission). French atomic energy agency to move quickly to investigate the cause. The sample was traced to a mine in Oklo, Gabon, Africa.Scientists rushed to the Oklo. Further studies conducted found there were sixteen locations that serve as a modern nuclear reactor and the reactor is expected early 2 billion years old.
How can Oklo reactors serve as ancient? French atomic energy agency trying to find the answer. And then they get the answer from a paper prepared in 1956 by Paul Kazuo Kuroda, a chemist from the University of Arkansas. Kuroda said that if the U235 is quite a lot and no neutron moderator such as groundwater flow, then the natural nuclear reactor could happen. Oklo mine conditions predicted to resemble what Kuroda.
The mysteries of ancient nuclear reactor has actually been scientifically answered by Paul Kuroda, so arguably the mystery factor is almost gone.
ANCIENT NUCLEAR EXPLOSION
Now we will see a NUCLEAR EXPLOSION of an ancient story is a hoax. This story is often combined with the Oklo reactor because of ignorance about the difference between the reactor with a nuclear explosion. We start from the first hoax.
First Hoax
On the internet, which recognized outstanding paragraphs from the book of the Mahabharata is said to describe and prove the existence of war (explosive) nuclear antiquity. I found this paragraph quoted many web or blog that discusses the ancient nuclear reactor. I took it and this is the sound of that paragraph:
"Gurkha, flying vimanas (plane) is strong and quick throws a projectile (missile) is filled with the power of the universe (nuclear). Glowing pillar of fire and smoke as obvious as the sun rose to light 10 000 all its glory. It was an unknown weapon , an iron thunderbolt, a gigantic messenger of death and makes the whole tribe Vrishnis Andhakas to ashes. bodies to be burned up so can not be recognized anymore. hair and nails falling off, broken clay tiles for no apparent reason and the birds turned into white ... after a few hours, all foodstuffs contaminated (radiation) ... to escape from this fire, the soldiers jumped into the stream of water to clean themselves and their equipment. (Mahabharata - 6500 BC?)
Well, the problem is the book of the Mahabharata contains a paragraph that was never in it. You can look it up on the internet via google.
Second Hoax - Mohenjodaro, Harappa and Rajasthan
Called that in the city of Mohenjodaro and Harappa, the scientists found ancient cities with a framework that littered the streets, mostly visible on the streets holding hands, this show came to their death suddenly. This framework and age thousands of years. And frameworks have the same high levels of radioactivity in Hiroshima Nagasaki bomb survivors.
While in Rajasthan is called that has found a layer of radioactive dust that covers an area of three square miles at ten miles west of Jodhpur. Radioactivity is a study that found after the researchers saw a high level of defects in newborns in the region and many local residents who suffer from cancer. Radiation levels at the site are very high that the researchers asked the government to isolate India's territory.
If you browse the websites of the government or private website at Mohenjodaro, Harappa and Rajasthan, no one ever mentions the findings of the framework. Archeology websites also never mentioned the results of the present invention. The story of "discovery" is only available in the website outside of India. Even those Indians who live in the area of Jodhpur admitted that he never knew there were discoveries. There are some places in India that contain radiation, yet it is the result of nuclear testing in modern day India. An India once wrote that the stories are not worthy of circulating blasts in India.
The third hoax - a giant crater Bombay
Called the giant crater at Lonar crater named Bombay are proof of ancient nuclear explosion. The crater was formed from basalt rock layer 600-700 meters thick. Crater diameter is about 2154 meters and the depth of about 150 meters, is located at about 400 kilometers northeast of Bombay. The crater was estimated to be 50,000 years
Later, scientists found that the crater was caused by a comet, not a nuclear explosion.(Actually this can not be called a hoax, because the crater is indeed there, but I include it for ease of discussion).
CONCLUSION
NUCLEAR REACTORS ancient indeed exist and can be explained scientifically. While the ancient NUCLEAR EXPLOSION is a hoax that circulated on the internet either for what purpose. Oh yes, one more, if you look at wikipedia with keyword "natural nuclear fission reactor" then you will find stories about Oklo, but not about Mohenjo Daro et al.Wikipedia is right!
