G. Gamow's alpha-decay theory (1928), although successful, has a wrong phenomenological argument that an alpha-particle inside a radioactive nucleus moves back and forth through the dense mass of nucleons (retaining its identity) a number of times before it comes out. This short paper seeks to get over this shortcoming by deriving principally the Gamow's theory through a slightly alternative approach by avoiding the problematic touching frequency in the original theory.
