The Nitro Nobel Gold Medal is an explosives industry award given by the Nitro Nobel Company of Sweden (now part of Dyno Nobel).[1]
The medal is gold, and features the same obverse as the Nobel Prize, but a different reverse. The medal has sometimes been confused with the Nobel Prize.
The award has only been given three times since its creation in 1967. The recipients are:
1967 — Dr. Robert W. Van Dolah, for the development of a theory he developed to explain the accidental initiation of liquid explosives[2]
1968 — Dr. Melvin A. Cook, for the discovery of slurry explosives[3]
1990 — Dr. Per-Anders Persson for the invention of the Nonel fuze.[1]
