Manfred Bitter [1987]
Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory
Citation: For the development of high resolution X-ray spectroscopy and the measurements of ion temperature and plasma rotation on tokamaks.
Nominated by: DPP

Morell S. Chance [1987]
Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory
Citation: For development and application of fundamental analytical and numerical tools for the investigation of the magnetohydrodynamic stability of high beta plasma in shaped tokamak configurations, including the PBX device.
Nominated by: DPP

Nathaniel Joseph Fisch [1987]
Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory
