Now, 3% of the Earth's crust is made up of uranium.
And then that spread, like you said, different areas.

Yeah, most definitely.
There's mines for uranium, right?
So you can mine uranium.
I've been asked a lot of times, can we do anything with radon?
I haven't figured that out.
Yes, it's one of the byproducts.
It actually forms a bunch of different metals, and then at one point it turns into a gas.
Well, because like we said, it's invisible.
You can't see it, smell it, taste it.
So you don't know it's there, but we breathe it in.

It's in the atmosphere.
But when it gets stuck under your house, right?
When you build a house and you put a big concrete slab down on the floor, you just stopped radon from coming out of the ground.
So it builds up under that house.
