You might also consider 23Na (100%) ==> 24Mg In fact pretty much all the odd numbered elements make good candidates, because the resulting even numbered elements are usually stable. Furthermore, odd numbered elements tend to have only one or two naturally occurring isotopes, and are really only stable because they have an even number of (i.e. paired) neutrons. which means that frequently no isotopic enrichment is required. E.g. 23Na, 27Al etc. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html
