Enrico Fermi


Enrico Fermi (September 29, 1901 - November 28, 1954) was an Italian physicist most noted for his work on the development of the first nuclear reactor, and for his contributions to the development of quantum theory, nuclear and particle physics, and statistical mechanics. Fermi was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1938 for his work on induced radioactivity and is today regarded as one of the top scientists of the 20th century. He was also present in the control room when the first reactor at Hanford, the B Reactor, went critical in 1944. His desk at on display at the Hanford B-ractor.
