With bulk chemicals the feedstock costs are in general close to the theoretical minimum, due to the high selectivity achieved (90% and higher). The introduction of PI in this field can lead to a reduction in capital expenditure and of energy utilities by a factor 5 (38) a variable cost reduction factor of 1.4 is achievable. 

The protonated cluster ions were observed to be the major product ions in the CMS of ammopia, water, etc., although unprotonated cluster ions have also been observed in these cases, depending on the choice of carrier gas, method of ionization, and electron energy utilized in the investigation (Shinohara et al. 1985, 1986). The inability to observe unprotonated cluster ions is usually attributed to poor Franck-Condon factors for the vertical ionization transitions. These poor Franck-Condon factors arise from the large differences in the configuration of the neutral and ionic clusters (Stace 1987a).

All of the current methods and the projected technologies for producing hydrogen from solar energy are much more expensive (greater than a factor of three) when compared with hydrogen production from coal or natural gas plants. This is due partly to the lower annual utilization factor of about 20 percent (as compared with, say, wind of 30 to 40 percent). This creates enormous pressure to reduce the cost... 

The cross sections for neutron capture increase for all atoms for thermal energy neutrons. As a result, even though low cross section materials are used some neutrons are captured by the structural and moderator materials. The probability for the non-capture of thermal neutrons in this fashion is signified by/, the thermal utilization factor, which in our case can be assumed to be 0.9. Thus of the original N neutrons 112 thermal neutrons remain in the second generation to cause fission in the nuclear fuel.
