The Enrico Fermi Award is a U. S. government "Presidential" award honoring scientists of international stature for their lifetime achievement in the development, use, or production of energy. In Physics and other Sciences energy (from the Greek grc ἐνέργεια - Energeia, "activity operation" from grc ἐνεργός It is administered by the U. S. government's Department of Energy. The United States Department of Energy ( DOE) is a Cabinet -level department of the United States government responsible for energy policy The recipient receives $375,000, a certificate signed by the President and the Secretary of Energy, and a gold medal featuring the likeness of Enrico Fermi.
