Noratom A/S was founded in 1957 with participation from RA, KV, Norsk Hydro and others. The purpose of Noratom was to commercialize nuclear technology.

Noratom A/S was directly involved in the supply of "heavy water" to Israel for their nuclear development program. Protocolls from 1958 substantiates that the Norwegian Labour Party Government with Prime Minister Einar Gerhardsen knew that Israel was going to use the water for Plutonium production making it possible for Israel to produce nuclear weapons. Noratom was also going to support Israel with reactor parts and technology.
