Abstract: This paper summarises the historical development of three Nordic nuclear research centres, and discusses their role in technology transfer and international collaboration. It examines the extent to which they have adapted to the changing environment for nuclear power or whether the society they serve has accepted them as established institutions with a continuing role.

Keywords: international collaboration; nuclear research centres; Scandinavia; technology transfer; nuclear energy; nuclear power.
