Nope. No helium nuclei were produced. They have little penetration
and wouldn't go through a sheet of toilet paper.


That's exactly why my head is telling me it was alpha; I remember thinking
how silly this all was when the radiation probably wouldn't penetrate the
wood beneath the chassis. I would have thought that if it was beta, some
of it would penetrate wood, and of course gamma would go right through.
But then, I wasn't paying careful attention, and I could certainly be wrong.
