America stopped the Norwegians from getting the A-Bomb.
The Norwegian Nobel Institute and VG ^ | 27/04/05 | Olav Njølstad

Posted on 04/29/2005 12:53:29 AM PDT by XavierXray

Olav Njølstad of the Norwegian Nobel Institute has written an Article that claims that US. Int. services stopped the Norwegians from creating the A-bomb.

Norway and Sweden coroporated in enriching uranium and had large amount of "heavy Water" which they planned to use in the creation of the bomb.

Us. Intelligence warned Norwegian auth. that this could lead to agression from U.S.S.R in 1947/48 and again in 1950 when Norway had started negotiantions with France in an energy program, this time due to the fact that they meant the french leader of the energy program was a communist.

All other Norwegian/Swedish uranium attempts stopped when Norway in 1949 when Norway enterd NATO. Njølstad also claims that after WWII and the bombing of Japan, USA was quite hardlined in the fact that no other countries should have the A-bomb.

If Norway had started the program in 47, they would have probably been in the top 5 of the first to have nukes...

Just think, if they had succeeded, we might all be eating rømmegrøt and ordering pizza topped with smoked fjord trout.

I just had a picture in my mind of a longship armed with missile launchers. If I remember right, Norway currently has a defense minister who takes sh*t from no one, so maybe you do have nukes and no one is the wiser.

Not hard lined enough I guess. Traitors were once dealt with. Remember the Rosenbergs? Clintons...

ssshhhh;) Our defence minister K.K Devold actually spent 1 Billion kroners more then she was supposed to and got away with it, she didn't have to go but all the officers that worked under her (no pun intended) got sacked, so she take nothing from no one, not even the goverment ;) In a parody series, she hunted Saddam in a upscale hotell and frequently had phonecalls with Pres. Bush., a call then always went as follows: "Yes Mr. Bush, Yes Mr. Bush, I love you too Mr. Bush"

Yep. Important in that the Germans were on their way to the WRONG process, and had they had the heavy water, would have figured that out soon.
