Abstract
The probabilities of occurrence of alpha clusters are calculated for the case of four nucleons in a harmonic-oscillator potential, based on the simplifying approximation that the oscillator constants for alpha clusters and nucleons are equal. Some general observations as to how alpha-decay hindrance is affected by the overlap of wave function of a cluster and that of the constituent nucleons are made. The decay of ${\mathrm{Po}}^{211}$ is discussed in part.
