Thick target yields of the ^natS(,x)^34mCl nuclear reaction were measured in the energy region from 14.2 to 69.5 MeV. Our results were also compared to the only available literature dataset. Cross-sections of the above reaction were also estimated from the obtained thick target yields. Pure natural sulfur used as a target material resulted in a thick target saturation yield of 1557 ± 18 MBq (42.1 ± 0.5 mCi)/μA at 69.5 MeV. The estimated excitation function curve of the ^natS(,x)^34mCl process showed a maximum cross-section of 122 mbarn at about 27.5 MeV.
