Voight, Adolf Frank, 1914-
Adolf Frank Voight response to 1981 History of Nuclear Physics Survey, 1982.
Three-page typed response to questionnaire, including comments on Kasimir Fajans' work on radioactivity with Ernest Rutherford, Voight's joining of the Manhattan District project at Iowa State University in the summer of 1942, and his directorship of Ames Laboratory from 1954 through 1979 and tenure as chief of the Reactor Division from 1968. Recipients were asked to discuss their entry into a scientific career in general and nuclear physics in particular, their work during the Second World War, their scientific achievements, the funding of their projects, the roles of related sciences--especially high energy physics--in their research, their work as educators, their perceptions of the public's attitude towards science, and their involvement in physis-related organizations.
