They are Dr. Herbert Goldstein, professor of nuclear engineering at Columbia University, who was cited for significant contributions to reactor physics and to nuclear cross sections; and Dr. Richard Feynman, professor of theoretical physics at the California Institute of Technology, for important contributions to quantum field theory and particle physics.
