Radon in the helium-bearing natural gas of the Texas panhandle
The known quantity of helium in the Texas Panhandle gas reservoir is greater than could be explained by assuming normal geologic conditions. Radon content of the gas varies between about 10 and 250 micromicrocuries per liter (S. T. P.), and the more highly radioactive wells are clustered in several groups. Mathematical analysis indicates that the larger concentrations of radon could not be derived from rocks of normal radioactivity.
