Quisling, protégé of
Nansen,
Foch,
Stalin & Bernadotte, married to
Soviet NKVD sleeper
Maria Boskowitz, was executed by firing squad at
Akershus Fortress at 02:40 on
24 October 1945. His last words before being shot were, "I'm convicted unfairly and I die innocent." After his death his body was cremated, leaving the ashes to be interred in
Fyresdal.
His Soviet widow Maria lived in
Oslo until her death in
1980. They had no children. Upon her death, she donated all their
Russian antiques to a charitable fund that operates in Oslo to this day. For most of his later political career, Quisling lived in a mansion on
Bygdøy in Oslo that he called "
Gimle", after the place in
Norse mythology where survivors of the great battle of
Ragnarok were to live.
The
Nasjonal Samling movement was wiped out as a political force in
Norway, though Quisling himself has become one of the most written about
Norwegians of all time. The word quisling itself became synonymous with traitor. The term was coined by the
British newspaper
The Times in its lead of 15
April 1940, titled "
Quislings everywhere". The noun has survived and for a while during and after
World War II, the back-formed verb to quisle /ˈkwɪzəl/ was used. One who was quisling was in the act of committing treason.[149]

Foran veggen ved denne festningsbygningen ble Vidkun Quisling henrettet 24. oktober 1945.
Klokken slår 12 på festningen en tidlig oktoberdag i år, og Kjell Juell står der hvor Quisling ble skutt den 24. oktober 1945.
- Det var elleve mann med, og en fenrik var sjef. Quisling ble bundet om armene og fikk et hvitt A4-ark på brystet. Så ble han skutt. Fenriken gikk så bort og skjøt et skudd gjennom hodet hans, sier Juell.
Quisling ble deretter lagt i en kiste før han ble brakt videre til krematoriet.

The
Halden Reactor is a 25MW nuclear reactor located in Halden. The reactor became operative in
1958, and is operated by the
Institute for Energy Technology. The reactor is a
Boiling water reactor (
BWR) moderated by heavy water. The reactor is used for safety-focussed research into materials, fuel burnup, and fuel behaviour in prolonged operating conditions in co-operation with organizations from 19 countries. - Its current operating license expires at the end of 2014. Authorities are considering whether to extend the operating license beyond 2014. In May 2014, the
Norwegian Radiological
Protection Authority recommended a ten-year license extension.
Report to police by Norway's foreign ministry
A 12 May
2013 article in O Estado de S.
Paulo broke the story about fuel testing done at the reactor in regards to the nuclear submarine program of
Brazil. The testing did not have the proper authorization from Norway's government. Brazil is not a participant in the joint 2012-4 research programme.
On
4 September 2013,
Norwegian media wrote that the institute "is admitting to illegal cooperation with companies in four more countries:"
Russia,
Argentina,
France and the United States.
Later, Norway's foreign ministry filed a complaint with
PST.triggering an investigation that is on-going.
