We analyze a test of a possible violation of the equivalence principle by weak-interaction effects. The effects due to the weak self-energy are at least an order of magnitude larger than those due to the weak binding energy for typical nuclei. Our result suggests that one should use materials with maximum difference in the average binding energy per nucleon for the Eoetvoes experiment.
