Savely Moissejewitsch Feinberg ( Russian Савелий Моисеевич Фейнберг , English transcription: Saveli Moiseevich Feinberg; born December 11, jul. / 24. December  1910 greg. In Baku , Russian Empire ; † 20th October 1973 in Moscow ) was a Soviet physicist who on worked in the field of reactor technology .

Life

Feinberg studied engineering at the Azerbaijan Polytechnic Institute until 1932 and was then an aspirant of the institute until 1934. From 1934 to 1942 he worked in an institute for the oil industry and then briefly in the construction of an aircraft factory in Baku. Before he was called up for army service in 1943, he was a lecturer at a naval school. After being seriously wounded, he was discharged from the army in 1944. From 1944 to 1945 he was head of a research group in an institute of the aircraft industry in Zhukovsky , Moscow Oblast . After the end of the Second World War, in 1945 he became an employee of the Institute of Chemical Physics of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR . In 1946 he moved to Laboratory No. 2 of the Academy of Sciences, which later became the Kurchatov Institute , where he worked until his death. There he became head of the theoretical department. Since 1947 he has been a professor of theoretical and experimental reactor physics at the Moscow Engineering-Physical Institute ( Russian Московский Инженерно-физический Институт ). In 1949 he received the Russian doctorate .

In the Kurchatov Institute he worked on the planning and construction of various types of reactors. Particularly well known he was with his 1958 designed theoretical concept of a traveling wave reactor ( English traveling-wave reactor , TWR), which can erbrüten its own fuel.

Feinberg received numerous state awards. In 1974 he was posthumously honored with the Kurchatov Gold Medal of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR .

He was a cousin of the physicist Yevgeny Lwowitsch Feinberg .
