The spark of the Super: Teller–Ulam and the birth of the H-bomb—rivalry, credit, and legacy at 75 years
In early 1951, Los Alamos scientists Edward Teller and Stanislaw Ulam devised a breakthrough that would lead to the hydrogen bomb [1]. Their design gave the United States an initial advantage in the Cold War, though comparable progress was soon achieved independently in the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom.
Since the magazine accepted its first advertising in 1960, nearly 40,000 ad pages have been purchased. Join the hundreds of nuclear-related vendors and organizations who make our magazine part of their annual business development strategy.
The magazine reports on the latest developments in the nuclear community, a large part of which concerns nuclear energy – in particular, the hundreds of units that are in operation or forthcoming around the world. Articles discuss plant operations, maintenance and security; policy and legislation; international developments; waste management and fuel; and business and contract award news. Also covered are research and nonpower applications of nuclear science and technology, including nuclear medicine, food irradiation, and space nuclear applications. In addition, the popular ANS News, which contains information for and about ANS members, has been incorporated into the monthly magazine.
