Overall: hook is cited and I see it in many references. Did he ever publish his findings in Hiroshima? Reads very well. No issues that I can see. Thank you Zanhe. Whispyhistory (talk) 04:27, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

@Whispyhistory: Unfortunately sources don't say whether the findings were ever published (or classified?). He was still a young and unknown scientist at the time, I'd imagine there would have been a more senior scientist leading the research. -Zanhe (talk) 07:54, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
