Miley Honored by ANS

December 12, 2004

The American Nuclear Society, in recognition of the expanding contributions radiation sciences make to industrial progress, established the Radiation Science and Technology Award in 1967. The purpose of the award is to identify and honor those individuals whose creative application of radiation sciences and engineering principles have been particularly outstanding.

The 2004 Award was presented to Prof. George H. Miley, Department of Nuclear, Plasma and Radiological Engineering at the University of Illinois at an Honors and Awards Luncheon in Washington DC, November 16, 2004. Prof. Miley was cited for his creative contributions to radiation science and technology in furthering the development of nuclear batteries, nuclear pumped lasers, and small fusion-based neutron sources for industrial neutron activation analysis.
