Not exactly - a massive source of radon in the Eastern USA is shale and low grade coal - where there is sometimes 50 ppm of uranium which cannot be mined, economically ... but because deposits can be hundreds of feet in thickness over thousands of square miles - substantial radon seeps out - far

Ed Storms is stuck on fusion in his thinking about radiation coming from hydrogen concerning its nuclear effects on a cracked metal lattice. This unsupported preconception is undercutting an objective examination of what nuclear transmutation processes are happening in the lattice. The hydrogen

Alan, if you look at the photograph, you see GM#1 on the apparatus, where it is clearly shown in the diagram (Fig. 5), and GM#2 is hanging by a wire off to the right , as clearly stated under the photograph. GM#2 never detects radiation from the sample but can detect radiation from GM#1

In the document, the word fusion should be replaced with the word “fission” due to coulomb barrier lowering as a direct consequence of Anderson localization of electrons in and near the lattice discontinuities in the metal. Scale up od the effect can be done using electrostatic amplification
