Eugene Wigner is one of the very few scientists that may safely be described as creators of 20th-century physics. This volume of his Collected Works is devoted to his contributions to nulclear energy. In his introduction and annotations A.M.Weinberg surveys Wigner's contributions to nuclear-reaction physics and nuclear engineering, at the same time giving a glimpse of the early history of nuclear-reactor technology. Wigner himself gave a lively and critical account, which is published in this volume for the first time. Furthermore, Volume V of The Collected Works, which are edited by A. Wightman and J. Mehra, contains forty-two reports and memoranda from 1941 to 1945 and twelve of Wigner's many patents relating to nuclear energy.
