Otto Frisch was together with his aunt Lise Meitner instrumental in the discovery of nuclear fission. His subsequent paper with Rudolf Peierls was the first document to set out a process by which an atomic explosion could be generated; their process would use separated Uranium-235, which would require a fairly small critical mass and could be made to achieve criticality using conventional explosives and create an immensely powerful detonation. This became the basis of the Manhattan project, for which he did essential work in determining the critical mass of enriched uranium
