The use of enriched stable isotopes in the cyclotron production of radioisotopes is not only possible, but can also be economically advantageous. The feasibility is related directly to the efficiency of recovery of the unconverted target material. Some of the techniques and problems which are encountered in the preparation of and recovery from Te125, Te130, and Cr54 are discussed.
