'''Gernot Zippe''' (November 1917 – 7 May 2008) was an [[Austria]]n [[mechanical engineer]] and a [[nuclear physics|nuclear physicist]] of [[Austrian German|German origin]] who is widely credited with leading the team which developed the [[Zippe-type centrifuge]]– a centrifuge machine for the [[Enriched uranium|enrichment]] and collection of [[uranium-235]], during his time in the former [[Soviet atomic bomb project|Soviet program of nuclear weapons]].{{rp|47}}<ref>{{cite book |title=The Barnes Review |date=2008 |publisher=TBR Company |url=https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Barnes_Review/4gALAQAAMAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&bsq=gernot+zippe+born&dq=gernot+zippe+born&printsec=frontcover |language=en}}</ref>
