Tasks carried out during the first six months of the program are summarized. Development of seal-less cells with increased power density at lower operating temperature (800 C) was started. This required a new cell design and investigation of new cell materials. Conceptual design of the generator and balance of plant (BOP) for a residential system was initiated. Attachment 1 describes the progress in cell development and Attachments 2 and 3 deal with status of the generator and BOP design. Overall progress during the first six months and plans for future work are summarized in Attachment 4
