Biography of Lew Kowarski
Lew Kowarski was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, on February 10, 1907. His father,
Nicholas, was a businessman, and his mother, Olga Vlassenko, was a singer. He received a
degree in chemical engineering from the University of Lyons in 1928. Kowarski went on to study
physics, earning both his B. Sc. (1931) and D. Sc. (1935) degrees from the University of Paris.
He became a naturalized French citizen on November 16, 1939.
Kowarski's active work in nuclear physics began in 1937 under the direction of Frédéric
Joliot at the Collège de France. In 1939, Professor Joliot, Hans Halban, and Kowarski formed a
research team which performed the crucial experiments that established the possibility of a
nuclear chain reaction. When war broke out in 1940, Kowarski and Halban fled to England under
rather dramatic circumstances and continued their work at the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge.
Kowarski was responsible for the design and construction of the first nuclear reactor in
Canada (1945), and the first two reactors in France (1948 and 1952). He also played a key role in
the founding of CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research), and was named its first
Director of Scientific and Technical Services in 1954. He was instrumental in developing
CERN's computer capacities and went on to create the Data Handling Division, which he
directed until his retirement in 1972. During this same time, he served as scientific advisor to the
European Nuclear Energy Agency.
Kowarski published well over 100 papers, mostly in English, ranging in style from
technical to popular. He held visiting professorships at Purdue University (1963-66), University
of Texas at Austin (1967-71), and Boston University (1972-78).
Kowarski was a frequent speaker at scientific conferences in the United States and
Europe. It was his desire to link research and scientific diplomacy through his travel and lectures.
Later in life he became increasingly interested in the interaction of science and society and
advocated bringing current and reliable information on nuclear technology to the public.
The distinctions bestowed on Kowarski included: Fellow, American Nuclear Society
(1963); Decorated Officer of the Legion of Honor (1964); and U.S. Atomic Energy Commission
Citation Award (1968).
Kowarski married Dorothée (Dora) Heller in 1929. They had one daughter, Irène Denise
(Mrs. Gérard Hacques), and divorced in 1947. He married Kathe A. Freundlich, July 23, 1948.
He died on July 30, 1979.
Scope and Contents of Collection
The Lew Kowarski Papers provide an important source of documentation for the early
history of nuclear fission research and reactor technology, and the impact of this research and
technology on society.
Most of the material deposited covers the years 1939-1973. Among the topics
documented is the collaboration among Kowarski, Frederic Joliot, and Hans Halban in Paris in
1939 and 1940 that resulted in experiments which helped to establish the possibility of a nuclear
chain reaction. Kowarski and Halban continued this work in Britain after the invasion of France
in 1940. From 1945 Kowarski pioneered the development of nuclear reactors in Canada, and then
in France. After 1951, his administrative work was chiefly at the European Council for Nuclear
Research CERN (the bulk of Kowarski's files from his work at CERN remain at CERN). His
interests extended from technical problems of reactor construction to issues of international
cooperation.
The papers are divided into eight series: Bibliographies, Correspondence, Notes and
Manuscripts, Documents, Personal Materials, Publications, Lecture Materials, and Diaries.
Among the several accounts of Kowarski's career which are available is his own "Notice
sur les Titres et Travaux Scientifiques," dated January 1966, which consists of a curriculum vitae
and summaries of his work in various specialties (Series I, B.1, F.1). The social and political
context of Kowarski's work in 1939-1951 is discussed in "Scientists in Power," by Spencer
Weart (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1979).
Researchers should be aware of the Additions to the Lew Kowarski Papers (1907-1981)
(see next paragraph). The first deposit and additions cover similar time periods but the first
deposit has a substantially larger amount of earlier correspondence (late 1930s to 1950s)
covering the period of Kowarski's pioneering research; the Notes and Manuscripts series in the
first deposit is also from this earlier period (this earlier material has been indexed). Much of the
correspondence in the additions relates to Kowarski's later (more administrative) work at CERN.
Both collections include series of writings and publications, and lecture materials (with some
duplication between collections but a larger selection in the additions). The first deposit only has
series of diaries and of personal material. Overall there is some duplication between the
collections but they are also complementary - both need to be reviewed to get the full picture.
The additions to the Lew Kowarski Papers document Kowarski's long and versatile
career, and provide an important source of information on early nuclear fission research and
reactor technology, the subsequent rise of nuclear science and its impact on society, and
developments in the field of high-energy physics. Kowarski was an intellectual and social man
who traveled frequently throughout the United States and Europe as a speaker, lecturer and
advisor. He was an eloquent communicator with an extraordinary command of English and
maintained life-long social and professional relationships with friends and colleagues throughout
the world. Much of the correspondence is comprised of two-way communications since
Kowarski kept carbon copies of his letters. Correspondents include: Luis Alvarez, Otto Robert
Frisch, Samuel Goudsmit, William Frederick Miller, Joseph Rotblat, Maurice Shapiro, Victor
Weisskopf, Eugene Wigner, and many others.
The collection covers the years 1930-1981, with the bulk of the material dated post-1950.
Materials are in English and French, with a few pieces in German and Russian. Reflected in the
correspondence and writings are insights into the social and political events of the day, and a
chronicle of developments in the international community of atomic scientists, including: World
War II and the movement of European scientists; the application of reactor technology; the social
impact of nuclear technology; nuclear energy development at the U.S. atomic centers; the
development of data processing devices in high- energy physics; the importance and uses of
computers in science; international cooperation; and peaceful uses of atomic energy.
The collection contains a combination of manuscripts, notes, and reprints (many
annotated) from which Kowarski drew his numerous writings and lectures. Kowarski's work at
CERN was primarily administrative, involving lectures, travel arrangements, conference
attendance, and the like. Except for his early work in atomic energy, and his involvement in
establishing data processing at CERN (including the subsequent development of the
Hough-Powell Digitizer) there is little information of a highly technical nature.
Arrangement of Collection
The order of the folders in the first deposit roughly follows Kowarski's own arrangement.
The correspondence series is divided into several categories, within which items are arranged
chronologically. In this series are copies of third-party correspondence sent to Kowarski to
support his patent cases. The general and third-party correspondence prior to 1960 were indexed
by Spencer Weart in 1973, as were the laboratory notes and reports, 1939-45. Indexed materials
are noted with asterisks in the folder listing and the index of correspondents follows the folder
listing.
The first deposit of materials consists of 9 boxes divided into 8 series. This material has
been maintained as a distinct collection with a separate finding aid (including indices for Series
II, III and IV - Correspondence, Notes and Manuscripts, and Documents).
Most of the correspondence in the additions covers the years 1960-1978 and arrived in
chronological order, separated into incoming and outgoing. This arrangement was retained.
There also were two sets of correspondence, 1953-1963, arranged alphabetically by
correspondent, with incoming and outgoing together in chronological order; these two sets were
integrated retaining the alphabetical and chronological arrangement. Several folders of
miscellaneous correspondence from the early 1950s and late 1970s were kept as found, as subject
files, since their contents are related. Some correspondence concerning writings and visiting
professorships was left in context throughout Series II and III (Subject and Writings and
Lectures).
Diaries were moved to an existing series in the first deposit and can be found in Series
VIII (Folders 1, 3, 5-10). They cover the years 1932-1956 and include lab notes, daily
appointments, accounts, notes on conversations, and travel dates.
The Lectures material (Series III) was found in several boxes, most coded by school and
some in labeled folders. All coded materials and related matter have been brought together and
arranged chronologically.
The Subject and Writings material (Series II) was largely coded or foldered by subject
and organization. This material, received at different times, has been brought together and
arranged chronologically. However, a portion of the Subject and Writings files (Series II F) was
ordered according to a coded bibliography of Kowarski's work, 1930-1967; this arrangement was
retained. The bibliography can be found in Box 14, Folder 8, along with additional copies
annotated by Mrs. Kowarski beyond 1967. The subsequent folders of publications and writings
are ordered according to the code numbers on the bibliographies.
There has been an attempt to adhere as closely as possible to Kowarski's arrangement and
this has, in large part, been achieved with the coded materials. Folder titles have been retained
when possible, though sometimes folders were relabeled for clarity. In some cases, subjects of
particular note follow folder titles. The researcher should be aware that there has been no
distinction made between personal, professional and family correspondence.

Provenance and Acquisition Information
The papers were in Kowarski's home in Geneva at the time of his death and were the gift
of Mrs. Kate Kowarski, his widow. Some papers were retained by Mrs. Kowarski, and the bulk
of his files from his work at CERN were kept at CERN.
The first deposit was received as a gift from Mrs. Kate Kowarski by the American
Institute of Physics Niels Bohr Library in 1980.
The second deposit was received as a gift from Mrs. Kate Kowarski by the American
Institute of Physics Niels Bohr Library in 1982, 1983, 1984, and 1985.
Processing Information
The first deposit was processed in August 1981.
The second deposit was processed by
Vickie Allen
in April 1996.
Duplicate materials and rusting paper clips and staples were removed from the collection.
Fading and deteriorating materials were photocopied onto acid-free paper and the originals
removed except when there was some value in retaining them. All materials were rehoused in
archival quality, acid-free folders and boxes. Any notations made by the processor to aid
identification were made in pencil and enclosed in brackets. All other notations were on the
materials when received and include notations by Mrs. Kowarski to clarify names of
correspondents.
