The reason I added this comment at all, was I felt the headline title was a little misleading. We have evidence, of a naturally occurring fission reaction on Earth, a long long time ago.
Why would I move to a warzone in a country poorer than mine, of which I don’t speak the language, know nobody over there, and don’t have any connection to whatsoever?
the reaction is no longer active
Is it a reaction, then?
It was. It no longer is.

Which is how we know it’s safe to bury nuclear waste.
No. It just means the chain reaction stopped and it’s no longer in uncontrolled meltdown. It’s still emitting a ton of radioactivity though.
Yes, but it’s all contained to the same area still after millions of years
Chernobyl is contained too. It’s not safe.
It is safe if you don’t enter the container; that’s what contained means.
Why don’t move next to it then?

Because uprooting their life to prove a random stranger wrong would be a figuratively bigger disaster than the event in reference.
No lives there because of the radiation, you overgrown sausage.
