Comment on "Masses of stable xenon isotopes: Check for internal consistency via ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry"

Recently, a paper by Meek et al. [Phys. Rev. C 41, 2921 (1990)] purported to show that a new technique for measuring atomic masses had been developed sufficiently to demonstrate an error in the accepted value for the mass of Xe-134. However, new measurements of the masses of several stable isotopes of Xe, which are in agreement with other data, indicate that this claim may be premature.
