Minimum kinetic energy of an alpha particle


Having found the minimum kinetic energy of an alpha particle inside a nucleus to be roughly 2.0 Mev, and given that the typical kinetic energy of an emitted alpha particle is 5.0 MeV, is actually possible for the alpha particle to have existed inside the nucleus before it was emitted?
