Extractions: about this page Born in Warsaw in 1908, Joseph Rotblat has had an incredible career spanning nuclear, radiation and medical physics, and international affairs. He worked on the Manhattan Atomic Bomb project during the second world war and then uniquely, quit the project a few months before the war ended when it became clear that Germany would not be able to develop nuclear weapons of its own for use against the allies. He later worked on medical radiation physics and co-founded the Pugwash organisation, a series of conferences focussing on science and world affairs. In 1995 Pugwash and Rotblat were jointly awarded the Nobel peace prize for their efforts to diminish the part played by nuclear arms in international politics and, in the longer run, to eliminate such arms. He is still extremely active in politics and world affairs, as well as the work of Pugwash. These clips form part of an extended archive of interviews developed by Vega.

From my earliest days I had a passion for science. But science, the exercise of the supreme power of the human intellect, was always linked in my mind with benefit to people. I saw science as being in harmony with humanity. I did not imagine that the second half of my life would be spent on efforts to avert a mortal danger to humanity created by science, The practical release of nuclear energy was the outcome of many years of experimental and theoretical research, It had great potential for the common good. But the first the general public learned about this discovery was the news of the destruction of Hiroshima by the atom bomb, A splendid achievement of science and technology had turned malign. Science became identified with death and destruction. It is painful to me to admit that this depiction of science was deserved, The decision to use the atom bomb on Japanese cities, and the consequent build up of enormous nuclear arsenals, was made by governments, on the basis of political and military perceptions. But scientists on both sides of the iron curtain played a very significant role in maintaining the momentum of the nuclear arms race throughout the four decades of the Cold War.

Extractions: Web posted at: 3:00 p.m. EST (2000 GMT) OSLO, Norway (CNN) British scientist Joseph Rotblat was formally awarded the 1995 Nobel Peace Prize on Sunday and immediately appealed for a world free of nuclear weapons and an end to war. Speaking after he and his co-laureate, the Pugwash movement that he heads, were presented with the award, Rotblat warned that current nuclear thinking is "a recipe for proliferation" and "a policy for disaster." Joseph Rotblat, Nobel Peace Prize Winner Rotblat is among 11 Nobel Prize winners who were notified in October of their selection. He received his honor in Oslo, Norway. The 10 others were awarded their prizes at ceremonies Sunday in Stockholm, Sweden. Seven of this year's prize-winners were Americans: medicine laureates Edward Lewis and Eric Wieschaus; economics winner Robert Lucas; physicists Martin Pert and Frederick Reines; and chemistry nominees Mario Molina and Frank Sherwood Rowland. They were joined at the Stockholm ceremony by German medicine nominee Christiane Nuesslein-Volhard, Dutch chemistry joint-winner Paul Crutzen and Irish literature laureate Seamus Heaney. Each prize this year carries an award of $1.1 million. The Polish-born Rotblat, 87, worked on the Manhattan Project to prevent a Nazi victory in World War Two, but quit in 1944, the year before the first atomic bombs were dropped on Japan. (

Extractions: published by WISE News Communique on October 27, 1995 The Norwegian Nobel Committee said it awarded the $1 million Nobel peace prize to Joseph Rotblat and the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs this year, 50 years after nuclear bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, to encourage the world to now rid itself of the nuclear threat. Joseph Rotblat is the founder of Pugwash. He is a scientist who resigned from the Manhattan Project (to develop nuclear weapons during World War II) and then dedicated his life to campaigning against the nuclear weapons it developed. (442.4377) WISE-Amsterdam - The awarding of the Nobel to Rotblat and Pugwash was unexpected, with the Nobel Committee passing over better-known nominees including former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and the politicians who were crucial in bringing about a ceasefire in Northern Ireland. "It is the committee's hope that the award of the Nobel Peace Prize for 1995 to Rotblat and to Pugwash will encourage world leaders to intensify their efforts to rid the world of nuclear weapons," the Nobel Committee said in its citation. The panel hoped the award would also send a clear message of protest to the French and Chinese governments over their recent nuclear tests. Rotblat, a Polish-born British citizen, was the only scientist to resign from the Manhattan Project. Since leaving the project in 1944, he has campaigned for nuclear disarmament, and until recently also worked at London's St. Bartholomew's Hospital, specializing in nuclear medicine.

Professor Joseph Rotblat (above). The Norwegian Nobel Committee announced on 13 October that is had decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 1995, in two equal parts, to Joseph Rotblat and to the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs, for their efforts to diminish the part played by nuclear arms in international politics and in the longer run to eliminate such arms. Joseph Rotblat came to Liverpool from Poland in April 1939 and was prevented from returning by Germany's invasion of his country. He had envisaged the concept of the atom bomb and had convinced himself of the vital necessity for the Allies to develop it first. He approached Professor (later Sir) James Chadwick with a proposal for research on the feasibility of the bomb and the work was undertaken using the cyclotron that Chadwick had built in the basement of the George Holt Building (now occupied by Metallurgy and Materials Science). In 1943, the Liverpool team including Chadwick and Rotblat, moved to the United States to work on what was called the Manhattan Project. There was always in his mind the conflict with his central philosophy that science should serve the humanitarian and peaceful purposes of mankind, and towards the end of 1944, as the war in Europe approached its final stages, he decided to return to Liverpool. In the years that followed he turned increasingly towards the biological and medical applications of nuclear physics, initially in Liverpool and eventually as Professor of Physics of London University at St Bartholomew's Hospital.

In a letter congratulating Professor Rotblat on the award of the Nobel Peace Prize the Vice-Chancellor wrote: `This is a very great honour and it is well deserved. I know that I speak for every member of the University, and particularly those in the Department of Physics, when I say how proud we are that a graduate of this University, and a former colleague, has been recognised in this way. It is a unique occasion in the University's history.' Professor Rotblat is a former Director of Research in Nuclear Physics of the University of Liverpool and was awarded the honorary degree of Doctor of Science in 1989. In his oration Professor Fred Norbury described how Joseph Rotblat arrivie arrived here in April 1939 from his native Poland, choosing Liverpool in preference to Paris. He had envisaged the concept of the atom bomb and had convinced himself of the vital necessity for the Allies to develop it first. He approached Professor James Chadwick (later Sir James Chadwick) with a proposal for research on the feasibility of the bomb and the work was undertaken using the cyclotron that Chadwick had built in the basement of the George Holt Building (now occupied by Metallurgy and Material Science). He went on to join Chadwick's team in Los Alamos working on what was called the Manhattan Project.

Extractions: Joseph Rotblat first met the mathematician and philosopher Bertrand Russell in 1954, when they both appeared on one of the earliest BBC 'Panorama' programmes. It was about the hydrogen bomb. Bertrand Russell was very disturbed by the information Joseph Rotblat gave him, and at Christmas gave a radio broadcast called 'Man's Peril', about the consequences of nuclear war. Convinced that since scientists had created the nuclear bomb, it was scientists who should try to prevent nuclear warfare, Russell got in touch with Albert Einstein, and asked for - and got - his support. Russell drafted the 'Statement on Nuclear Weapons'; and it was signed by Einstein only days before his death. It was also signed by ten other scientists, one of whom was Joseph Rotblat. The Statement was published in July 1955, and became known as the Russell-Einstein manifesto It was more than a commitment to abolish nuclear weapons. It recognised the 'titanic struggle between communism and anti-communism', and the risks of war that it carried. It recognised the tremendous destructive power of the H-bomb. It recognised the appalling and lasting effects of large amounts of radiation. It recognised that an arms race had already begun. The manifesto put the question: 'Shall we put an end to the human race, or shall mankind renounce war?' and called on the world's scientists to 'assemble in conference to appraise the perils that have arisen as a result of the development of weapons of mass destruction'.

Extractions: Joseph Rotblat was born in Warsaw, Poland's capital city, in 1908. He remembers the good days before World War 1: his father ran a successful transporting business, young Joseph had a pony to ride, and there were idyllic summer holidays in the countryside. But when war came, Joseph's father was driven to distilling illicit vodka in the basement to make money for his family to survive. But Joseph was determined to get an education. He had discovered what would become his life-long love of science, and was determined to become a physicist. So he worked as an electrician by day and studied by night, and in 1932 graduated from the Free University of Poland with a degree in science. He was immediately offered a research post in the Radiological Laboratory of Warsaw. He gained a doctorate in physics from Warsaw University in 1938. By then he had met and married Tola Gryn. The British physicist James Chadwick, meanwhile, had discovered the neutron. (He was awarded a Nobel Prize for this work in 1935.) Chadwick worked at the University of Liverpool; when he heard of Joseph Rotblat he invited him to join the physics team there in 1939. Rotblat was delighted: the equipment at Liverpool was far better than anything in Warsaw. He was particularly interested in the physics laboratory's cyclotron (a machine for making particles move faster) and dreamed of building one in Warsaw one day. He went to Liverpool - the first time he had travelled outside Poland - with high hopes.

David Windisch, Chair of ICU Student Pugwash, writes: "While the global political context has changed during the years since the first Pugwash Conference on Science and World Affairs in 1957, the movement's main purpose is still the same - to bring together scientists and students from around the world to discuss the ethical and political issues science must face. "Apart from the main concern about nuclear arms, issues such as the elimination of armed conflicts, or the environment, have also moved onto the agenda of recent Pugwash Conferences. "Professor Rotblat is, as were Albert Einstein and Bertrand Russell, one of the scientists who inaugurated the movement in 1955. Born in Poland in 1908, he was one of the first scientists realising the potential of nuclear fission at the outbreak of the Second World War.

Aun a esa edad él continuaba recorriendo el mundo con inmutable vigor, la espalda recta y un ritmo aún más rápido que el de un hombre en la flor de su vida. ¿Por qué es tan activo? Yo tengo un objetivo esencial, me dijo él, y me he mantenido siempre muy decidido en su búsqueda. Eso, creo, es lo que me ha permitido mantener el vigor. El objetivo al que se refería Rotblat era su determinación de erradicar del mundo las armas nucleares y la guerra en sí. Cuando el Instituto Toda para la Paz y la Investigación de Políticas realizó una conferencia internacional sobre Prerrequisitos no nucleares para el desarme nuclear" en el Reino Unido, en 1997, el profesor Rotblat llegó a la sala de la conferencia dos horas y media más temprano para revisar todo el equipo, los proyectores y los micrófonos, y para asegurarse de que todo estuviese instalado perfectamente. Debido a que es un laureado con el Premio Nobel y, además, de avanzada edad, uno podría esperar que llegaría a la hora justa de acuerdo con lo programado, haciendo su camino hacia la sala de conferencias sin prisa y esperando que todo estuviese dispuesto para él. Pero el profesor Rotblat siempre lo confirma todo por su propia mano, sus propios ojos y su propio oído, y lo hace alegre, cortés y completamente.
