How radon could be used?

It pretty much can't.

It's a health hazard, and doesn't have any properties useful enough to overcome that for commercial applications (also, its use is regulated by law, due to it being a health hazard).

Essentially it's only used in scientific studies and in highly specialized applications (like calibrating radon detectors).
