Popis: After an Introduction on the history of nuclear fission, we re-examine the scientific relationship between Otto Hahn and Lise Meitner in view of a number of newly published articles in the last two decades. We find the evidence overwhelming that they should have shared the Nobel Prize - rather than it being awarded to Hahn alone. In the post-war period Hahn's actions are often difficult to understand, but we find no compelling evidence that he acted dishonourably.
