Radio Button For multiple bools - asp.net

Question

Say I have the following properties in my model that I want to be mutually exclusive:
public bool PrintWeek1 {get; set;}
public bool PrintWeek2 {get; set;}
public bool PrintWeek3 {get; set;}
Is it possible to render these as a set of radio buttons or do I need to change them to an enum?
If I use #Html.RadioButtonFor it renders name as the name of the property so they aren't grouped correctly.

Here comes a quick solution, let you have following properties in Model -
public bool PrintWeek1 { get; set; }
public bool PrintWeek2 { get; set; }
public bool PrintWeek3 { get; set; }
public string SelectedValue { get; set; }
Then your HTML should be like this -
#Html.RadioButtonFor(Model => Model.PrintWeek1, "PrintWeek1", new { #Name = "SelectedValue" })
#Html.RadioButtonFor(Model => Model.PrintWeek2, "PrintWeek2", new { #Name = "SelectedValue" })
#Html.RadioButtonFor(Model => Model.PrintWeek3, "PrintWeek3", new { #Name = "SelectedValue" })
Then when you submit the form, you will get the selected value in SelectedValue property.
EDIT
To Address #StephenMuecke point, created the below solution -
Create a enum -
public enum PrintWeekType
{
PrintWeek1, PrintWeek2, PrintWeek3
}
Then have a model property (instead of individual properties, have single emum property) -
public PrintWeekType SelectedValue { get; set; }
HTML should be like below -
#Html.RadioButtonFor(m => m.SelectedValue, PrintWeekType.PrintWeek1)
#Html.RadioButtonFor(m => m.SelectedValue, PrintWeekType.PrintWeek2)
#Html.RadioButtonFor(m => m.SelectedValue, PrintWeekType.PrintWeek3)
Using above sample, one can pre-select a radiobutton, at the same time we can post the selected value in SelectedValue property.

Ok I abandoned the bools and just ended up using a list - this seemed to be the quickest and easiest way to do it.
Where I initialize my model:
public PrintViewModel()
{
this.PrintTypes = new List<string>() { "Print Week 1", "Print Week 2", "Print Week 3" };
}
public List<string> PrintTypes { get; set; }
public string SelectedPrintType { get; set; }
In my view (I wanted the first option selected by default):
#for(int i = 0; i < Model.PrintTypes.Count; i++)
{
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-2">
#(i == 0 ? Html.RadioButtonFor(x => x.SelectedPrintType, Model.PrintTypes[i], new {#checked = "checked"}) : #Html.RadioButtonFor(x => x.SelectedPrintType, Model.PrintTypes[i]))
<label for="#Model.PrintTypes[i]">#Model.PrintTypes[i]</label>
</div>
</div>
}
