Hans Bethe was a German-American theoretical physicist who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1967. He helped design the first American nuclear and thermonuclear weapons. Bethe recalled three visits to the Weizmann Institute of Science where his hosts would "take me anywhere and discuss anything with me." However, they never offered to take him to Dimona, which Bethe found significant, as he was interested in nuclear power reactors.1
