Information trouvée : Philip Hauge Abelson (April 27, 1913 - August 1, 2004) was a physicist, editor of
scientific literature, and science writer.Philip Abelson was born in 1913. As a young
physicist, he collaborated with Nobel Prize winner Luis Alvarez in early nuclear research,
and was the co-discoverer of the element Neptunium. He was a key contributor to the
Manhattan Project during World War II. Although not formally associated with the atom
bomb project, his invention of the Liquid Thermal Diffusion isotope separation technique
proved a critical step in creating sufficient fuel for the weapon.After the war, he
turned his attention to applying nuclear power to naval propulsion. He wrote the first
report detailing how a nuclear reactor could be installed in a submarine, providing
both propulsion and electrical power. His report anticipated the nuclear submarine's
role as a missile platform. His design was adopted as the basis for the USS Nautilus,
the world's first nuclear submarine. Dr. Abelson is known as the "Father of the Nuclear
Submarine".From 1951 until 1971 he served as the director of the Carnegie Institution
of Washington's Geophysical Laboratory. From 1962 to 1984 he was editor of Science
magazine, published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS),
and served as its acting Executive Officer in 1974, 1975 and 1984.
