During the mid 1930´s, Hahn and Strassmann had worked with Lise Meitner in an attempt to use chemical processes to isolate and identify the transuranium elements that they believed to have been created through neutron bombardment of uranium. When the war broke out, Meitner fled Germany to take up residence in Sweden. In 1938 Hahn and Strassmann continued these experiments. Late in the year they completed an experiment aimed at isolating radium, but instead found only barium, a medium-weight element. The presence of barium rather than radium meant that uranium must have been split into two nearly equal fragments. They sent in their announcement to Naturwissenschaften in late December and notified Lise Meitner at the same time.
