I'm not sure about this, but I'd suspect radon wouldn't be a problem. Missile silos are airtight structures, especially on the bottom. Radon is a problem when it seeps up. A sure-fire way to nix any radon problems is to make the part of the house that's on or under the ground gastight. But avg. construction doesn't work that way. Those silos did contain some interesting isotopes in some real nice applicators. I'll betcha the builders carefully excluded radon, because it would frustrate the guys doing Geiger sweeps. And if there's some radon - I'll just paint the halls with zinc sulfide. The luminescent stuff. Never need a night light, even in a blackout. :-)
