From: Jack Cole * * Jeff Morriss has just published a nice study showing radiation of 7x background. https://www.lenr-forum.com/forum/index.php/Thread/2847-Celani-Type-Replication/
This is nice. Here is one comment to file away as a possible mundane explanation. Jeff Morriss is in the same general geographic area as Alan Goldwater, and is probably working in his garage. Radon gas is known to be high in Alan’s area, and probably in Jeff’s also -- and 7x background is fully explainable by radon, if it is there… as is the apparent half-life average. … but wait, you say, Jeff did calibrate against background before seeing the higher rate, and also the half-life of 222Rn is about 4 days, not one hour. Yes, but this calibration would not eliminate the source being Radon, since he is running a charged wire experiment - and when the experiment is turned on, it would attract radon to the wire and thus concentrate the signal. Plus a factor of 7 concentration is not unusual; plus the average of all three radon isotopes can be in the one hour half-life range. Therefore – the source of radiation could be radon. At least it has not yet been ruled out. One way to lessen radon is to move the experiment outside, or to an area of lower radon emission (assuming it is high at Jeff’s location).
