Pioneer of China's Hydrogen Bomb Wins Top Science Award View Translation
Yu Min, an 88-year-old nuclear physicist considered the "father of China's Hydrogen Bomb" has won the country's top science prize on Friday. He began serving as a researcher at the Modern Physics Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1951, after graduating from Peking University. During his time with the academy, he studied nuclear weapon theory and solved a series of problems concerning thermal nuclear physics related to H-bomb tests. This groundbreaking research led to the development of China's first Hydrogen Bomb in 1967. He was also the recipient of the "Two Bombs, One Satellite" Achievement Medal, another top science award given by the Chinese government to those who have made great contributions to China's first satellite project.
