Actually, DOE says it may be accelerator produced 
(_http://web.em.doe.gov/idb96/tab71.html_ (http://web.em.doe.gov/idb96/tab71.html) ).
 
And, from a press release from company called International Isotopes in  
Texas:
 
"These major advances position the Company to initiate production and  sale
of products from the LINAC beginning early in the fourth quarter of  1998",
according to Ira Lon Morgan, Ph.D., Chairman and Treasurer of  International
Isotopes Inc.  The radioisotopes that are initially  planned for production
include I-125, Tl-201, I-123, Pd-103, Co-57, Co-60,  Ir-192, Sr-89, Y-90, I-
131, In-111, Ga-67 and F-18."
 
But, as I said, the issue is reasonably moot at this point, since this  
material is now under the umbrella of the AEA.
