On December 30, a terrible landslide resulted in devastating casualties in Ask, Gjerdrum. Worried local citizens told the press about shakings they thought could be an earthquake before the landslide and contacted NORSAR. Based on our cooperation within Europe, we knew that quick clay could liquefy after earthquake although this has not been documented in Norway before.
On December 10, NORSAR handed the Earthquake Report over to the Mayor of Lillestrøm, Jørgen Vik, accompanied by representatives from the County Governor of Oslo and Viken. The event was executed partly remote, with external representatives on Teams and Romerikes Blad on site.
NOR-FROST is the new NORwegian FibeR Optic Sensing Test site in the backyard at NORSAR!
The International Day Against Nuclear Tests honors all victims of nuclear tests and reminds us why nuclear testing must come to a permanent end.
75 years ago, the “Trinity” nuclear test changed the world. On the 16th of July 1945, the world’s first nuclear bomb was detonated in New Mexico.
