CNTA is proud to announce the renaming of our Nuclear Service Award in honor of Michael L. Butler, a distinguished communicator, nuclear advocate, journalist, and founding leader of Citizens for Nuclear Technology Awareness.

Michael devoted much of his career to strengthening public understanding of nuclear science and technology. As CNTA’s Executive Director from 1991–2001, he helped establish the organization and invited Dr. Edward Teller to the inaugural Teller Lecture in 1992—beginning a tradition that continues today.

In recognition of his extraordinary service and lasting impact, the award will now be known as the Michael L. Butler Distinguished Nuclear Service Award. Michael will be honored posthumously as its inaugural namesake recipient, with his wife, KB, accepting the award on behalf of the Butler family.

Please join us as we celebrate Michael’s life and legacy at the 35th Annual Edward Teller Lecture on October 6 at 6:30 p.m. at the Amentum Center for Performing Arts in Aiken, SC.

His legacy continues as a voice of truth for nuclear matters.
