niels bohr

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'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?

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
