Eugene Wigner is one of the very few scientists that maysafely be describedas creators of 20th-century physics.This volume of his Collected Works is devoted to hiscontributions to nuclear energy. In his Introduction andAnnotations A.M. Weinberg surveys Wigner's contributions tonuclear-reaction physics and nuclear engineering, at thesame time giving a glimpse of the early history ofnuclear-reactor technology. Wigner himself gave a lively andcritical account, which is published in this volume for thefirst time. Furthermore the book contains forty-two reportsand memoranda from 1941 to 1945 and twelve of Wigner's manypatents relating to nuclear energy.
