Re: Radon Web Site

Dear Phil,

	It seems obvious that the author is using fission and spontaneous

fission as a synonym for any type of decay. Nevertheless, it is my

understanding that the major source of heat keeping the earth's core

molten arises from radioactive decay-primarily 40K. So at least some of

the message, if somewhat garbled, does have a scientific basis.
