American nuclear physicist and weapons designer (b. July 11, 1925, Mexico City, Mex.—d. Oct. 28, 2004, Silver Spring, Md.), devised the most powerful fission explosives in the U.S. arsenal as well as the smallest and lightest (the 23-kg [51-lb] Davy Crockett in 1961) and in 1965 was the recipient of the Ernest Orlando Lawrence Award for the development, use, or control of nuclear energy, awarded by the U.S. Atomic Energy Agency (now the U.S. Department of Energy). He worried about the dangers of small nuclear weapons of the type he had created falling into the wrong hands, however, and became deeply concerned about his country's readiness to use nuclear weapons. In the last years of his life, he wrote and lectured passionately against U.S. nuclear policy.
