  Blog of Death: Marshall Rosenbluth
Marshall Nicholas Rosenbluth, a physicist who dedicated his life to understanding and taming nuclear fusion, died on Sept. 28 of pancreatic cancer.
Rosenbluth spent the next three decades teaching nuclear and plasma physics at the University of California, San Diego and at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, N.J. From 1980 to 1987, he served as the director of the Institute for Fusion Studies at the University of Texas.
Rosenbluth received numerous awards for his scientific contributions, including the Albert Einstein Award, the Enrico Fermi Award and the National Medal of Science, the highest scientific honor in the United States.

Marshall Rosenbluth was an outstanding scientist affectionately known as "the pope of plasma physics" because of his contribution to nuclear fusion.
Rosenbluth was a firm supporter of the foundation of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, and of the International Thermonuclear Reactor, a programme to demonstrate the feasibility of using the fusion process to generate electrical power.
Marshall Rosenbluth's 75th birthday party at the University of California at San Diego was attended by more than 100 eminent scientists from around the world, an indication of the esteem in which he was held.

 Guardian | Marshall Rosenbluth
The modest and sociable Marshall Rosenbluth, who has died from pancreatic cancer aged 76, was a towering figure in the hugely complex field of nuclear fusion and plasma physics, the study of hot, electrically charged gases such as those in interstellar space and the atmospheres of stars.
In truth, Rosenbluth was one of the driving forces behind 50 years of research into controlled thermonuclear fusion, which aimed at harnessing the force that powers the sun to generate limitless supplies of electricity.
Rosenbluth's attention was already turning to the idea of harnessing nuclear fusion for peaceful purposes, and, in 1956, he joined General Atomics, a San Diego company that sought to pioneer fusion energy.

 Nuclear Fusion Pioneer At UC San Diego Dies At 76
Marshall N. Rosenbluth, a nuclear and plasma physicist at the University of California, San Diego who pioneered our scientific knowledge of thermonuclear fusion, the energy source of the sun and stars, died on Sunday, September 28, in La Jolla, Ca., from pancreatic cancer.
In 1950, Rosenbluth was recruited by Edward Teller as one of the principal theoreticians at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory in New Mexico, doing classified research that led to the development of the hydrogen bomb.
Rosenbluth is widely regarded by colleagues in the U.S. and abroad as a leader in fostering international collaboration in fusion and physics research.

MARSHALL Rosenbluth was a pioneer in nuclear fusion, who helped invent the hydrogen bomb, was exposed to radioactive fallout in a nuclear test and later devoted himself to trying to harness thermonuclear fire for peaceful ends.
In 1950, Rosenbluth was recruited by Edward Teller to join the Los Alamos National Laboratory, where the young scientist did secret research that helped create the hydrogen bomb.
In 1954, again in the South Pacific, Rosenbluth was aboard a navy ship when a hydrogen bomb test turned out to be unexpectedly strong and showered his ship with radioactive fallout.
