How was nuclear fission missed during the mid-1930s and discovered on the eve of the second world war? Did the Americans, during the war, unscrupulously use European discoveries? Or were they justified in thinking that the British were, even then, concentrating on post-war nuclear power? Was Truman or Churchill mainly responsible for trying to hoodwink Stalin at Potsdam? How did a cable-coding error lead to the Quebec Agreement under which commercial nuclear advantages after the war would be dealt with "on terms to be specified by the President of the United States to the Prime Minister of Great Britain?"' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***'Nuclear fission is a reaction in which the nucleus of an atom splits into two or more smaller nuclei. The fission process often produces neutrons and gamma rays, and releases a very large amount of energy even by the energetic standards of radioactive decay. The free energy released by the fission of one uranium-235 atom is about 100 million times the energy released by burning one carbon atom in air to produce CO2. Nuclear fission was discovered by chemists Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann and physicists Lise Meitner and Otto Robert Frisch. Hahn and Strassmann proved that a fission reaction had taken place on 19 December 1938, and Meitner and her nephew Frisch explained it theoretically in January 1939. Frisch named the process "fission" by analogy with biological fission of living cells. In their second publication on nuclear fission in February 1939, Hahn and Strassmann predicted the existence and liberation of additional neutrons during the fission process, opening up the possibility of a nuclear chain reaction by assembling a critical mass of fissile material.'
