I'd say theres about 40 to 50 square feet of crawl space thats expose.

Before I get my radon levels tested again, I'd like to sheet off the
crawlspace with 6 mm plastic. *Im just not sure how to keep it a tight seal

there are sections where i'd have to tape it down on the concrete as well,

You have a few options. First off, you could just close off the area
of the crawls space. Then put in some vents and let the gas vent out
by itself. Simple and low tech.

You could also lay down plastic and put pea-stone over it to hold it
down. Again, simple and tech.

I wouldn't tape the plastic to sheetrock. You may eliminate radon but
you'll just be trading it for mold.

For the poured concrete area, you might be able to get away with any
of the numerous paint-on concrete sealers that are on the market.
