From page 71...
... The purpose of the NHI program is to develop technologies that produce hydrogen using nuclear energy. The most efficient methods for producing hydrogen involve the direct use of high-temperature process heat, possibly coupled with some electricity input.

From page 72...
... However, specific metrics for evaluating these measures have not been established. The committee recommends that the NHI program select specific economic metrics that can be linked to the cost of hydrogen produced by competing technologies, such as natural gas steam reforming.
