Dr. Bernard T. Feld (December 21, 1919 - February 19, 1993) was an emeritus professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who helped usher in the atomic era as an assistant to Enrico Fermi. Subsequent to his research work he became a leading voice for nuclear disarmament for nearly half a century.[1]
In 1945 Feld spent six months in Washington, D.C. where he and other leading physicists were lobbying against military control of nuclear research and weapons development. The result was legislation setting up the civilian Atomic Energy Agency. This period signaled the beginning of Feld's lifelong commitment to peaceful uses of atomic power and to ending the threat of nuclear war.[1]
