Ø Ø Where is your analysis that this spectrum could have come from a puff of radon gas? Bob, Santa Cruz CA is a radon hot spot. We are not talking about a “puff” we are talking about natural emission of Radon from earth, which is variable throughout the day. Ø There were longer background measurements that were entirely constant in photometric reduction. The indications of radon come primarily from the characteristic x-ray peak at 78keV (due to lead and bismuth dust being deposited on the scintillator from radon decay) which was quite predictable across the entire multiple-day data set. And also consistent with terrestrial radon emission. I live in this area, and I can tell you that many days you can measure a strong signal from the exhaust of a natural gas water heater and other days it will be gone. 78 keV is a classic radon signature. Ø Most of the radon transitions are alpha and beta emissions, not gamma, and I don't think there is a chance that the broadband spectrum can be explained this way. The gamma counts are extraordinarily low. There are trillions of times lower than what one would see from a self-sustaining reaction. Which brings up the main point WHERE IS THE EVIDENCE OF THE FIVE HOUR SELF-SUSTAINING EVENT ????? Jones
