LChoy, could you ask your wife if periodically turning on the washroom fan is sufficient? I'm thinking about hooking it up to a clock so it turns on every night from 2:00 am - 5:00 am.
From wife (Ontario Lung Assc Radon Program):

Basically more ventilation means lower levels since it dilutes the radon level inside. So definitely helps to have the fan running but it will just go back up when its turned off.
That's why the most effective way to lower radon levels is to install a radon mitigation system that is made up of a fan inside a pipe that runs 24/7 to keep air moving and keep levels low
Hope that helps
