Abstract
There were four main steps in the sequence of events leading to the discovery of fission, made just over 50 years ago. There was the discovery of the neutron by Chadwick in 1932; then two years later the discovery of artificial radioactivity by Irene Curie and Frederic Joliot, quickly followed by Fermi's use of the neutron to induce artificial radioactivity, leading eventually to the discovery of fission in early 1939.
