Download Nomination Form
The award was established in 1972 by the ANS and the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) to recognize outstanding and statesmanlike contributions to the many aspects of nuclear energy activities.

The candidate must have international stature in a broad sector of the nuclear energy field.  A significant segment of the candidate's work must have been directed toward the peaceful uses of nuclear energy.  Nominees need not be ANS or NEI members, they do not have to be US citizens, but the recipient must be living at the time he/she is nominated.

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 brief chronological resume should be included.

Nominations are considered by a committee comprised of ANS and NEI members.  They are made on a form available from ANS Headquarters and from this website.  Eight sets of the nomination form and supporting documents must be received at ANS Headquarters before February 28.

An appropriately engraved medal is presented at the ANS Annual Meeting in June in even years and at the NEI Nuclear Energy Assembly in May of odd years.
