Dubnium not have enough experimental data to back their claim. After collecting more data, JINR proposed the name "nielsbohrium" (Ns) in honor of the Danish nuclear physicist Niels Bohr, a founder of the theories of atomic structure and quantum theory. When LBL first announced their synthesis of element 105, they proposed that the new element be named "hahnium" (Ha) after the German chemist Otto Hahn, the "father of nuclear chemistry", thus creating an element naming controversy. In the early 1970s, both teams reported synthesis of the next element, element 106, but did not suggest names. JINR suggested establishing an international committee
Otto Hahn nuclear fission – the term that was coined by Frisch, and which subsequently became internationally known. Over the next few months, Frisch and Meitner published two articles discussing and experimentally confirming this hypothesis. In a later appreciation (1963), Meitner wrote: And in an interview on West German television (ARD, 8 March 1959), Meitner said: In the same interview, Fritz Strassmann responded with this clarification: James Chadwick wrote in a preface: In their second publication on nuclear fission ("Die Naturwissenschaften", 10 February 1939), Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann used for the first time the term "Uranspaltung" (uranium fission), and predicted the
