Thoron

Thoron is an isotope of radon.
Thoron fields could be employed in conjunction with duranium shadows to deceive sensors into registering fully functional weapons systems. ()
Thorons had some medical applications. () When Captain Kathryn Janeway was injured by the crash of the Sacajawea in 2373, The Doctor tried a thoron pulse in attempting to repel a non-corporeal lifeform that had inhabited her cerebral cortex. ()
In 2373, Lon Suder used a portable thoron generator from sickbay to fool the Starfleet tricorders being used by the Kazon. He said that it was an old Maquis trick. ()
Some directed energy weapons were based on thorons, though they could be unstable. Most of Entharan arms dealer Kovin's handheld disruptors were thoron-based; he claimed he was able to compensate for the instability by polarizing the emitter matrix. ()
