Technology Status Worksheet
This technology worksheet was used as a guide by committee members in collecting information. It was also given as an information collection guide to the technology developers.
For use as a supplement to the written presentation handout.
Use extra sheets as necessary and refer to the topic number/letter.

9. Further tasks and time required to develop/ demonstrate prior to pilot plant level (The additional time to production level will be estimated).
10. Costs to the extent known, with emphasis on special costs such as reagents, materials of construction and waste disposal.
* 3X: Decontamination to the extent that material can be transported as toxic waste but still must be under government control.
5X: Complete decontamination and can be released from government control.
