This draft is one of eleven documents deposited by the Bohr family at the Niels Bohr Archive a few years ago. The deposit comprises documents either dictated or written by Niels Bohr referring to the 1941 meeting. Apart from a letter received from Heisenberg, they are all draft letters or private notes never leading to a final product in the form of a letter that was sent or a any sort of publication. For this reason the documents were deposited with the clause that they would only be released in 2012, fifty years after Niels Bohr’s death. Until now, the only available discussion of the 1941 meeting stemming from the Bohr family has consisted of the article, The War Years and the Prospects Raised by the Atomic Weapons by Niels Bohr’s son, Aage Bohr, first published in 1964.
