Abstract

The possibility of continuous nuclear fission chain reactions during four gigayears up to the present in the interior of the Earth is studied. Natural fast reactor in the form of lakes could be formed as a result of precipitation of uranium from the liquid layer on the solid Earth core. Mechanism of uranium concentration in the Earth core is described. In such layers a chain nuclear reaction with new fissile nuclides breeding could proceed. Some characteristics of georeactor have been calculated. Its operation in a pulse mode as it was in case of a natural nuclear reactor in Oklo (Gabon) is most probable.
