"In 1938 Hahn and Strassmann announced their discovery of barium isotopes among the decay products produced by neutron bombardment of uranium. Hahn and Strassmann had in fact discovered nuclear fission" (Norman). Meitner and Frisch calculated the large amount if energy that would be released during the fission process. Norman 1487; PMM 422b.
[With:] "New products of the fission of the thorium nucleus" in the same issue of Nature p. 637 and Nature issues 3616 and 3617 with articles by Bohr and Frisch on nuclear fission. (3)
