Established in 1983, this award recognizes an individual who has made outstanding scientific or engineering research contributions to the development of peaceful uses of nuclear energy.  Nominees need not be ANS members.  The recipient must be living at the time he/she is selected.  An engraved medal is presented at the ANS Winter Meeting.

Nominations for candidates for the award are invited from technical societies, heads of governments, and other appropriate individuals.  Nominees should reflect a high degree of scientific acumen, imagination and unusual talents in scientific research.  Thus, nominees should have made significant contributions to the scientific basis for a wide variety of peaceful applications of nuclear technology.  Further, candidates should be held in high esteem by peers engaged in the important task of nuclear research.

A full letter of justification must be provided with a narrative summary of about 1,000 words including accomplishments, period of activity, and significance of achievements.  A list of publications and a brief chronological resume should be included.

Nomination forms are available from ANS headquarters and on this web site.  Eight sets of the nomination form and supporting materials should be received at ANS headquarters by June 1.
