I agree with Robin. He gradually escapes to space, including any He-3 that
is near the surface. As Robin indicates, He-4 is produced in quantities
greater than He-3 I believe. Hence, with minimal supply of He-3, one would
expect more He-4 just based on the relative production rate.

Eric, is there any reporting of excess Helium being detected during these
events? It would seem plausible that this would occur if enough is
released to make a significant difference to the geology.
This is something I'd be interested in knowing. There's the interesting
detail that on the earth there's 100 more times 4He in relation to 3He than
in the universe at large. But that's just circumstantial evidence.
I suspect that most of the He4 on Earth comes from alpha decay reactions,
hence
the ratio.
