متن کاملTeaching About Nature’s Nuclear Reactors
Naturally occurring nuclear reactors existed in uranium deposits on Earth long before Enrico Fermi built the first man-made nuclear reactor beneath Staggs Field in 1942. In the story of their discovery, there are important lessons to be learned about scientific inquiry and scientific discovery. Now, there is evidence to suggest that the Earth’s magnetic field and Jupiter’s atmospheric turbulenc...
