Koward Teller Lecture Highlights Nuclear Thought in Augusta
The fifth annual Koward Teller Lecture in Augusta honored Citizens for Nuclear Technology Awareness and featured Dr. Alvin Weinberg of Oak Ridge who argued that the hydrogen bomb enabled by SRS production deterred nuclear war. He urged continued readiness with limited weapons to deter rogue nations. Dr. Edward Albenesius received CNTA’s Distinguished Scientist of the Year for work proving tritium originates from uranium-235 fission, with praise for late Dr. Henry Horton. Albenesius, a Du Pont scientist at Savannah River Site, is a Charleston native and long-time Aiken resident.
