The Statement of Task is reproduced as Appendix B The Committee on Alternative Applications of Atomic Vapor Laser Isotope Separation Technology was formed on June 17, 1990, and held its organizational meeting on July 23 and 24, 1990, at LLNL facilities, where the committee was beefed on AVLIS physics, technology, and processes; toured venous AVLIS facilities; and was beefed on an extensive senes of NIL proposals for alternative applications (see box, Study Milestones)

The vapor is illuminated by visible laser light that photoionizes the selected isotope. The ion is then electromagnetically extracted.

The invitation was also announced in the Commerce Business Daily as a Broad Agency Announcement on August 20, 1990. The organizations were requested to provide their ideas to the committee by December 1, 1990.

In addition to reviewing alternative applications of the AVLIS process, the committee reviewed potential technology spin-offs based on unique components already developed. In most cases, the spin-offs were directed toward the commercial sector, but neither the development cost nor the potential payoff could be estimated without significant applications research.
