I'm curious how this will impact Radon release from deep areas of the crust. For context, a Radon risk map of the US: https://www.epa.gov/sites/default/files/2018-12/documents/ra...

Uranium and Thorium decomposes into Radium, which themselves are found at 450m but the gas then rises through the Earths crust as it moves. I could see this kind of constant agitation releasing significantly more at least within a radius.


Or other fracking-adjacent risks like microearthquakes.
Are these really that much of a problem if the wells are far from urban areas?
if they are too far away you'd have a loss of efficiency since I guess they'll transfer heat and not current, no?
Not significantly if you are say 100km away.
