The Enrico Fermi Award, an international award awarded by the Department of Energy, a US government agency, was established in 1954,FermiBefore his death, he became the first winner with a prize of 325 thousand dollars.The Fermi Prize is awarded once a year to award outstanding persons with high achievements in nuclear physics. Candidates are elected by the members of the National Academy of Sciences and officials of various scientific and technological societies.The Fermi Prize is not awarded to a single achievement, but is awarded based on the lifelong achievements of the candidates. It is regarded as a lifetime contribution award.
The Fermi Prize is an international award awarded by the United States Government and was established in 1954.It is generally awarded once a year to those who have made outstanding scientific and technological achievements in the development, utilization or control of nuclear energy.The Fermi Prize is not awarded to individual achievements, but is awarded based on the lifetime achievements of the winners.
National Academy of SciencesacademicianOfficials of various scientific and technological societies and other persons with professional knowledge or expertise are nominated for recommendation. The recommenders also include the heads of government agencies of other countries and people in the scientific community.The selection and awarding of the Fermi Prize is the responsibility of the US Energy Research and Development Agency, and finally needs the approval of the US President.The winner will receive a $25000 prize, a gold medal and a certificate of honor.If there is more than one winner, the amount of the prize is 50000 dollars, which is shared equally by several winners.

Physicist Fermi
The Fermi Prize was awarded by the famousItalyscientistEnrico Fermi His surname was named to commemorate his great contribution to the study of atomic physics.Fermi was born in Rome, Italy in 1901 and graduated from the University of Pisa. He received a doctor's degree in 1922.In 1942, under his leadership, the world's first nuclear reactor was built at the University of Chicago.On July 16, 1945, he led the successful test of the first atomic bomb in Los Alamos, New Mexico, United States. He devoted his life to the theoretical research of atomic physics, and also did a lot of experimental work in this field.He has made outstanding contributions to the development of atomic bomb and nuclear reaction theory. In addition, he also studies the sources of cosmic rays, and has made certain contributions to astrophysics.The research work on fermion neutrons was awarded in 1938The nobel prize in physics。Won Medal of Merit in 1946.
In 1954, Fermi himself was awarded the Fermi Prize by the US government for the first time before his death.
