STATEMENT OF TASK
The committee wiD explore and assess alternative applications of the Atomic Vapor Laser Isotope Separation
(AVLIS) process and imbedded technologies and determine the most promising alternative applications for
further efforts.
The committee will conduct the study along lines suggested by the following tasks:
At the outset of the study, research, industrial, and commercial enterprises, representative of those thought
to be likely beneficiaries of AVLIS technology, will be contacted by means of a well-prepared solicitation
outlining the capabilities and technologies of AVLIS. This solicitation will seek the identification and
preliminary characterization of applications in these settings.
The committee, after a thorough introduction to AVLIS technology, will screen the results of the
solicitation from task 1 above, and seek the preparation of more detailed presentations of the most
· · -
promising 1C teas.
The Department of Energy will conduct a similar exercise with the national laboratories. DOE will screen
these ideas and prepare presentations on the best of these applications for the committee.
4.
The committee win, In a series of meetings, receive the results of tasks 2 and 3 and will prepare its
evaluation of alternative applications of AVLIS and technologies imb;edded in the AVLIS system. This
evaluation will include considerations such as the following: likely research, commercial, and industrial
potential; cost; development effort required to realize the application; potential efforts of application on
international diffusion of AVLIS technology.
The committee will document its findings and recommendations ~ a National Research Council (NRC)
report. This report will be subject to NRC review procedures.
