Penney, Frisch, Peierls & Cockcroft

William George Penney (June 24, 1909 - March 3, 1991), was an English mathematician. As the head of the British delegation working in Manhattan Project, Penney was initially charged with completing calculations to predict the damage effects generated by the blast wave of an atomic bomb. Otto Robert Frisch (October 1, 1904 - September 22, 1979) was a Jewish Austrian-British physicist who, with his collaborator Rudolf Peierls, designed the first theoretical mechanism for the detonation of an atomic bomb in 1940. Rudolf Ernst Peierls (June 5, 1907 - September 19, 1995) was a German-born British physicist. John Douglas Cockcroft (May 27, 1897 - September 18, 1967) was a British physicist. He shared the Nobel Prize in Physics for splitting the atomic nucleus with Ernest Walton, and was instrumental in the development of nuclear power.
