Meitner had already fed to Sweden, but continued to correspond with Hahn about his experiments with bombarding Uranium with neutrons, asking for her opinion. Frisch and Meitner were hesitant, but then Frisch talked to Bohr, who immediately bought the idea that the bombarding neutron triggered the fission.
