  • Atoms for Peace Awards
    ATOMS FOR PEACE AWARDS In making their annual selection for 1968 the Atoms for Peace Award Trust has paid signal tribute to the Agency. Each of the three recipients has for many years contributed to its work. Sigvard Eklund, Abdus Salam and Henry DeWolf Smyth received their gold medallion and $30 000 honorarium at a ceremony in New York on 14 October this year. All of them have achieved high distinction in science, but their greatest efforts have been to make the world aware of the benefits to be gained from using nuclear knowledge for peace, health and prosperity. A native of Sweden, Dr. Sigvard Eklund received his Ph. D. from the University of Uppsala. He began his scientific career at the Nobel Institute for Physics in Stockholm. From 1946-1950, he worked as Senior Scientist at the Research Institute for National Defence in Stockholm. He was for ten years a member of the technical physics faculty at the Royal Institute of Technology, and in 1950 was appointed Director of Research and Deputy to the Managing Director of AB Atomenergi in Stockholm, and from 1957- 1961 was Director of the Reactor Development Division in the same company. Dr. Eklund was a pioneer in reactor development, and, under his direc­ tion, the first Swedish research reactor was build and started in 1954. It was one of the first to be built outside the present major nuclear powers. In 1958, he was Secretary-General of the Second UN International Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy in Geneva. He was named Director General of the Agency in 1961.

The discovery of Polonium and Radium 11 Radioactivity by Henry Becquerel in 1896 K.L. Ramakumar initiated the intense research on understanding the structure of the atom which was led initially Development of Theoretical Physics by E. Rutherford and Madam Curie and later by by Albert Einstein 21 Niels Bohr. Of course Albert Einstein’s revolutionary ideas of physics (E=mc2, S. Kailas photoelectric effect and special theory of relativity) were to be understood and their Niels Bohr- The man and his work 28 implications realized much later than the actual D.D. Sood discoveries. With the discovery of Ra and Po by Madam Curie and Pierre Curie intense alpha Use of Isotopes as Tracers by George sources became available for bombarding the Hevesy 35 atom which was used by E. Rutherford to discover the nucleus. S.K. Patil The third and fourth decade of 20th century saw the maximum growth in the development of C.V. Raman (1888 –1970):The new ideas in science in general and nuclear Man of Science 43 science in particular.
