1. Technical data must be available in sufficient detail to allow adequate technical characterization and comparison. 2. The candidates must be central-station, baseload technologies . 3. The technology should be available for commercial application by the year 2000. 4. Include improved current baseload technologies. 5. Include representative advanced technologies currently being engineered. 6. Include alternative (non-space) applications of photovoltaic solar energy technology. 7. Include alternatives that show potential as long-term energy sources after 2000. 8. Fuel must be available for a long period (e.g., 2000- 2050).
