Terracentric nuclear fission georeactor: background, basis, feasibility, structure, evidence and geophysical implications

The background, basis, feasibility, structure, evidence and geophysical implications of a naturally occurring Terracentric nuclear fission georeactor are reviewed. For a nuclear fission reactor to exist at the centre of the Earth, all of the following conditions must be met: (1) There must originally have been a substantial quantity of uranium within Earth’s core. (2) There must be a natural mechanism for concentrating the uranium. (3) The isotopic composition of uranium at the onset of fission must be appropriate to sustain a nuclear fission chain reaction. (4) The reactor must be able to breed a sufficient quantity of fissile nuclides to permit operation over the lifetime of Earth to the present. (5) There must be a natural mechanism for the removal of fission products. (6) There must be a natural mechanism for removing heat from the reactor. (7) There must be a natural mechanism to regulate reactor power level. (8) The location of the reactor must be such as to provide containment and prevent meltdown. Herndon’s georeactor alone is shown to meet these conditions. Georeactor existence evidence based upon helium and antineutrino measurements is described. Geophysical implications discussed include georeactor origin of the geomagnetic field, geomagnetic reversals from intense solar outbursts and severe Earth trauma, as well as georeactor heat contributions to global dynamics.
