[103] On returning to Copenhagen, Frisch informed Bohr, who slapped his forehead and exclaimed "What idiots we have been!"
(d,n) reactions are used to generate energetic neutrons. The strangeness exchange reaction (K, π) has been used to study hypernuclei. The reaction 14 N(α,p) 17 O performed by Rutherford in 1917 (reported 1919), is generally regarded as the first nuclear transmutation experiment.
Chicago Pile-1 (CP-1) was the world's first artificial nuclear reactor.On 2 December 1942, the first human-made self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction was initiated in CP-1 during an experiment led by Enrico Fermi.
The first Soviet fusion bomb test, RDS-6s, American codename "Joe 4", demonstrated the first fission/fusion/fission "layercake" design, limited below the megaton range, with less than 20% of the yield coming directly from fusion. It was quickly superseded by the Teller-Ulam design. This was the first aerial drop of a fusion weapon.
