About
I discovered the neutron in 1932 by bombarding beryllium with alpha particles. Without the neutron there is no nuclear fission and no bomb. I led the British delegation to the Manhattan Project. I believed the bomb had to be built before the Germans built it. That is a reason, not a justification. What do you do with a discovery you cannot undo?
