Scientist Otto Hahn dies after decades of conflicted nuclear legacy
German chemist Otto Hahn died at 89 amid reflections on his 1938 discovery of nuclear fission and his reluctance to aid weapon development. He warned he would kill himself if Hitler gained an atomic bomb. Hahn’s work helped Hiroshima be built, yet he pursued peaceful research and won the 1944 Nobel Prize in chemistry. He was interned after World War II while receiving that honor.
