... Gases flow. A gas flowing through a crack isn't going to stop at a destination and decay when you wish. Some will decay on the way, some - most - will pass through & out the other side of the "collection point". There must be an exit, or the gas won't flow in to begin with. You need a valve & you need to time it somehow & you need to prevent decay everywhere except at the selected location.

Since there's no known way to prevent decay, gas flowing through the system must decay the entire time and the path must show as a tube around the path. Until your gurus concoct a way to prevent undesired decay, their fantasy is a joke.

You, too, have to find a way to "prevent undesired decay". Since the uranium is there and the polonium is there then the radon must be there. The half lives of these elements, radon and polonium, is short enough for the decay to be continuing from the time of creation (6000 years ago?). Where are the "tubes" of radioactivity damage that you say must exist? Perhaps Robert Gentry's explanation is not as airtight as you first thought.
I don't need to demonstrate that the evofantasy is true. You seem to have your wires crossed. Critics desperately need to come up with a naturalistic explanation for radiohalos, and I could not help them if I tried.

In fact, it looks like some research into this pipe-dream has already been done. According to Chapter 3 of the Evolution Handbook,
Quote
8 - The alpha-recoil technique has proven that these isolated, independent Po-218 halos were definitely not caused by "passing uranium or other radioactive solutions" as theorized by critics of this discovery. Alpha-recoil research reveals that radioactive damage trails are always left by passing radioactive solutions.

BTW: Your pictures don't "demonstrate" anything except the existence of halos. I did note that they are all on fault lines within crystals. Why didn't God put some of these polonium pieces in the crystal at locations with no cracks? There are halos at places with no cracks but those always show signs of uranium decay or still have uranium in them along with the daughter products of polonium decay.
Only two of the pictured radiohalos have cracks passing through the center point, a requirement for the imagined scenario. I was trying to find the best possible candidates for this kind of thing.

Halos with no cracks (or worse yet off-center cracks), wouldn't be so helpful in explaining the situation, IMO.
