Abstract
In summary, we commend F&D for exploring the possible role of diffusion in generating 226Ra excesses and we do not doubt that such processes occur. However, for the reasons outlined above, we consider this mechanism unlikely to be the principle origin of the large 226Ra excesses observed in low-K basalts and basaltic andesites at arc front volcanoes. © 2004 Elsevier B.V.
