Recent work carried out at PINSTECH and elsewhere shows that radon signals can be used to predict the arrival of an earthquake and to locate oil, geothermal energy sources, and uranium deposits. The SSNTD-Laboratory (PINSTECH) is presently exploiting it for uranium it for uranium exploration in Pakistan and is developing an earthquake warning signal system using Solid State Nuclear Track Detectors (SSNTD). Keywords: Radon signals, earthquake prediction, oil and geothermal energy sources, uranium deposits.
