The first nuclear fission experiment in the United States was carried out at Columbia University in New York State. The experiment took place in the basement of Pupin Hall (a physics building) at 550 W 120th St on January 25 1939. The First nuclear Fission reaction ever was performed by nobel laureate Dr. Otto Hahn a German chemist in December 1938. The first sustained fusion reaction was achieved at the University of Chicago. The famous test was carried out in a reactor (Chicago Pile-1 or CP-1) underneath the stands of the football field by a team of scientists lead by the nobel laureate Dr. Enrico Fermi.

Ernest Rutherford was the man you are thinking of. He was the first person to 'split the atom'.
Scientists first split the atom in the 1930s. The process of splitting the atom, known as nuclear fission, was achieved by Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann in 1938. This discovery laid the groundwork for the development of nuclear power and weapons.

No, the splitting of the atom did not occur at the University of Birmingham in the UK. The first experimental demonstration of nuclear fission, which involved splitting the atom, took place at the University of Chicago in the US in 1942.

In 1932 john cockcroft and Ernst waltin split the atom.
Splitting the Atom was created on 2009-10-04.
First the radioactive material and split the atom. So it is not a discovery is was hard work.
