The dream of atoms for peace inspired many scientists
who ushered in the atomic age while working with
wartime's Manhattan Project--a future of limitless, safe
power for mankind's benefit. Among its chief architects
were theorists of Jewish origins, many of whom were
European refugees. Within a few years they performed
the miracle of capturing the energy of the sun on the
planet earth.
ENRICO FERMI
(1901 54) b. Rome, Italy
-
Physicist The University of Rome's
- first professor of theoretical physics
used slow-neutron bombardment to
release radioactive particles from
elements--for which he won the 1938
' Nobel Prize for Physics. Fermi then joined Columbia
University to escape Fascism. Recognizing the potential
of nuclear fission, he explored means to trigger self-
sustaining chain reactions and developed what he named
an "atomic pile." The nuclear device inaugurated the
atomic age on Dec. 1, 1942.
tpwr", u;
HANS BETHE
(1906-) Strasbourg, Alsace-Lorraine
Physicist Fleeing Nazism 60 years
ago, the most senior living founder
of the atomic age is still an active
theoretician at Cornell University.
His discovery of how stars generate
energy earned him the 1967 Nobel Prize for Physics. He
also contributed to solid state physics, radar, reactor
design and astrophysics. While heading the theoretical
nuclear physics division of the Manhattan Project in Los
Alamos, Bethe helped guide some of the world's brightest
scientists to success. He remains among the most
outspoken advocates for universal reductions in nuclear
stockpiles.
J. ROBERT OPPENHEIMER
(1904-67) New York City
Physicist The professor of physics
became the director and moving
spirit of the Los Alamos atomic
research laboratory which he helped ,-
create in 1943. The intense, dedica-
ted administrator almost single-handedly coordinated
hundreds of scientists and technicians into an effective
team. Oppenheimer resigned in 1945 and took the helm
of Princeton's Institute of Advanced Study. His career
was marred by allegations of left-wing leanings, a charge
which President Kennedy refuted with a 1963 Fermi
Award for his contributions to the Atomic Energy
Commission.
-- Saul Stadtmauer
The late Leo Yaffe (1916-97) won an international
reputation for promoting the peaceful applications of
nuclear energy, and helped pioneer nuclear chemistry
and radioactive tracer techniques in his Canadian
homeland. Playing a key role in implementing safety
standards for handling radioactive material, Yaffe
received the Order of Canada in 1988 and the Prix du
Quebec two years later.
