dated April 14, 1958: Award to nuclear scientist

By agreement of a panel of judges, a new Achievement Award is to be presented to Sir John Cockcroft, the renowned British nuclear scientist, and the Commonwealth team who produced the modern marvel of the Zero-Energy Thermonuclear Assembly (ZETA).

This new concept of power generation could make the oceans of the world the sources of virtually inexhaustible supplies of fuel.
