NHS boiler becoming unpredictable — nuclear scientist needed (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
niels bohr
'unpredictable nuclear scientist needed' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'nhs boiler becoming' is the wordplay.
'becoming' indicates anagramming the letters.
'nhs'+'boiler'='nhsboiler'
'nhsboiler' anagrammed gives 'NIELS BOHR'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for niels bohr that I've seen before include "Danish physicist" , "14 [GREAT DANE]" , "Atomic scientist" .)
