I don't know of any at present.  However, when it was critical, radiation
dose rates in the Oklo reactor averaged about 1 Gy per hour.  This is based
on literature estimates of about the total number of fissions per cubic cm
over the operating lifetime of the reactor.  Sorry - I'll have to dig for
the exact numbers as I did the calculations several months ago.

It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data.  Insensibly one
begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.
