Abstract
In a recent study, Perez Velasquez, Caballero, and Kelkar report a dramatically enhanced α decay rate of the nucleus 212Po at high temperatures which reaches almost five orders of magnitude at a temperature of 2 Giga-Kelvin. Contrary to that finding, only a moderate enhancement by a factor of three is found in the present comment which is based on a careful study of the properties of excited states in 212Po.
