P. Radvanyi, « Frédéric Joliot-Curie and the first French atomic reactor », HAL-SHS : histoire, philosophie et sociologie des sciences et des techniques, ID : 10.1051/epn/2009801
Half a century ago Frédéric Joliot (1900-1958) passed away.With his wife, Irène Joliot- Curie, he had discovered artificial radioactivity in 1934, for which they were awarded the Nobel prize in chemistry in 1935. This led ultimately to the start-up, under his leadership, of the first French nuclear reactor ZOÉ, in 1948.
