By 1939, both Hahn and Meitner had worked out that nuclear fission was taking place. Meitner recognized the possibility for a chain reaction of enormous explosive potential. She refused an offer to work on the project at Los Alamos, declaring "I will have nothing to do with a bomb!" Hahn, but not Meitner, received the 1944 Nobel Prize for Chemistry. She is often mentioned as one of the most glaring examples of women's scientific achievement overlooked by the Nobel committee. A 1997 Physics Today study concluded that Meitner's omission was "a rare instance in which personal negative opinions apparently led to the exclusion of a deserving scientist" from the Nobel.
