...first report on a research project financed in part by the Tobacco Industry Research Committee (TIME, Nov. 15, 1954) was published by Providence Drs. Philip Cooper and James B.

So when the Soviet scientists detected both free neutrons and high-energy X rays coming from the tube, they thought at first that they had started a true thermonuclear reaction. More careful investigation proved that this could not be the case, but free neutrons are the "fire" that cause most nuclear transformations, and any new process that frees them is apt to prove important...
