Fukushima Crisis Updates

Today In Radiation Safety History

On January 27, 1900; Hyman (George) Rickover was born in Makow, Russia (now Poland). His family lived in a small Jewish village but immigrated to the US in 1906. Everyone in this village was killed in the Holocaust during WW II. His family first moved to New York then to Chicago. He graduated High School and with help from a Congressman was nominated to attend the US Naval Academy and graduated from the Naval Academy in 1922. He first served on a battleship then went on to command two different submarines. He later flew to Pearl Harbor to overseas the repairs on the USS California. In 1946 eight Naval officers were selected to work on the Manhattan Project, Rickover quickly realized the potential of nuclear energy as propulsion for naval vessels. In February 1949, he received an assignment to the Division of Reactor Development, AEC, and then assumed control of the Navy's effort as Director of the Naval Reactors Branch in the Bureau of Ships.. This twin role enabled him to both lead the effort to develop the world's first nuclear-powered submarine, He eventually became an Admiral. He is known as the Father of the Nuclear Navy for his leadership to build the atomic-powered submarine, USS Nautilus. He served on active duty with the United States Navy for more than 63 years, receiving exemptions from the mandatory retirement age due to his critical service in the building of the United States Navy's nuclear surface and submarine force.

Rickover is the longest-serving naval officer in U.S. history with 63 years active duty.

Rickover's substantial legacy of technical achievements includes the United States Navy's continuing record of zero reactor accidents, as defined by the uncontrolled release of fission products subsequent to reactor core damage.
