My question is how can it be an isotope, let alone a "light" isotope,
if its nucleus contains the same number of protons and neutrons as
regular helium.
Isotopes are used to discuss are the nuclear variations in an element,
not just the "unnatural" or "unusual" ones.
Helium has isotopes ranging from 3 to 10. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helium-10 for details.
