Abstract
I am honored to receive this award. It is especially significant because Edward Teller is the father of inertial fusion. Teller’s pioneering work in the extreme compressibility of matter, the radiation implosion concept, and the physics of thermonuclear burn are fundamental to the creation of very small scale inertially confined fusion explosions. Edward also made key contributions by fighting to reduce secrecy and by promoting international collaborations.
