We report thick-target yields of [sup 126,128,130]I from the bombardment of natural Te targets with 15-, 30-, 45- and 50-MeV protons, together with the iodine production cross sections for 1.85- and 5.0-GeV protons. With these data, we have estimated the relative cosmic-ray induced production of [sup 126]Xe, [sup 128]Xe and [sup 13O]Xe in Te ores. These quantities affect the ratio of double-[beta] decay half-lives of [sup 13O]Te and [sup 128]Te. A revised correction of cosmic-ray induced xenon can change the half-life ratio by as much as 10%, from (3.52[plus minus]0.11) [times] 10[sup [minus]4] to (3.88[plus minus]0.14) [times] 10[sup [minus]4].
