Isotopic ratios and abundances of all REE in two Oklo ore samples are measured and a method for estimating the neutron fluence, the conversion factor of uranium and the average neutron energy (or temperature) based on Gd and U isotopic ratios is presented. The calculations are used to evaluate parameters for the natural nuclear reactors at Oklo. The neutron fluence values evaluated using Gd isotopes are compared to those evaluated using Sm and Nd isotopes, showing that the agreement of fluence values found becomes better as fluence increases. A relationship between the abundances of fissiogenic nuclides of La, Ce, Nd, Sm and Gd and their mass numbers is also presented.
