The original question: In 1940-41 the Germans captured all the heavy water in the world from the Norwegians and it was used in the German atom bomb program.
What were the Norwegians doing with the heavy water at that time?
OK - so now we know the question, don't keep us in suspense - what's the answer?
(man, am I in trouble now. I promised myself I'd finish my taxes tonight, buy just one peek at FR won't hurt anything, right? I mean, I can quit anytime I want, right? It's not like it's gonna disappear, right? But, then I just had to ask - & I STILL haven't got my taxes done - got to get that answer 1st - ANYTHING to put off doing that stupid 1040, LOL)
Will any of you come visit me when the IRS or the guys in the white coats come take me away?
The Norwegians were selling it to scientists all over the world for experiments; it was used as neutron source, in medical experiments, etc.
They weren't trying to build a bomb or anything.
It probably involved lutefisk.
