Download Nomination Form
Established in 1991, this award recognizes pioneering research and leadership in the use of laser and ion-particle beams to produce unique high-temperature and high-density matter for scientific research and for controlled thermonuclear fusion.
The award is normally presented at the International Conference on Inertial Fusion Science Applications (IFSA) during odd-numbered years, and consists of a silver medal embedded in a solid oak plaque and a $2,000 monetary award.
Nominations for candidates for the award are invited by annual announcement in ANS publications and independent efforts of the Fusion Energy Division and through the channels of IFSA. Nominations are made by full letters of recommendation, which include a narrative summary of about 1,000 words describing accomplishments in the field, a description of significance of achievements and period of activity, an appended list of publications and a brief chronological resume. Nominees may be from any nation, need not be an ANS member, and must be living at the time of selection.
Nomination forms are available at this web site or from ANS headquarters. Eight copies of the completed form and supporting materials must be received before April 1 of odd-numbered years.
* The Edward Teller Award was established in 1991 and became a national award in 1999.
