JAMES CHADURICK

JAMES CHADURICK
(1891 - 1974)

Chadurick was the discoverer of Neutron. He found that when Beryllium was exposed to bombardment by Alpha particles, it released an unknown radiation. He interpreted this radiation as being composed of particles of mass approximately equal to that of the PROTON but having no charge, he called neutrons. Chadurick was a British physicist. He won Nobel prize in physics for his discovery of the NEUTRON in 1935.

The study of neutrons led the discovery of Nuclear Fission and the first Nuclear reactor.

Neutron is an elementrary particle that is a part of the atoms of all elements except normal hydrogen. It is present in the nucleus of the atom along with other particle Proton.

Reactor is an assembly in which nuclear Fission can be carried out in a controlled manner.
