    n/a
    @Html.RadioButtonFor(x => x, "", !Model.HasValue ? new { @checked=true } : null)

    @Html.RadioButtonFor(x => x, true, Model.GetValueOrDefault() ? new { @checked = true } : null)


    No
    @Html.RadioButtonFor(x => x, false, Model.HasValue && !Model.Value ? new { @checked = true } : null)
