The '''Enrico Fermi Award''' is a scientific award conferred by the [[President of the United States]]. It is awarded to honor scientists of international stature for their lifetime achievement in the development, use or production of [[energy]]. It was established in 1956 by the [[United States Atomic Energy Commission|Atomic Energy Commission]] in memorial of Italian-American physicist [[Enrico Fermi]] and his work in the development of [[nuclear power]]. The award has been administered through the [[United States Department of Energy|Department of Energy]] since its establishment in 1977. <ref>{{Cite web|last=Energy|first=Los Alamos National Laboratory, Operated by Los Alamos National Security, LLC for the U.
