Nuclear Physics in Finland

Through one of those more useful email services that send me a list of recent papers I might be intersted in, I came across a history of nuclear physics in Finland in the years from WWII to a decade or two afterwards.   

I'm well aware of the excellent work now taking place at Jyväskylä where, thanks to an accelerator facility, support for theory, a great local group and access to international users, Finland punches well above its weight in nuclear physics.  There's not much nuclear physics elsewhere in Finland, but the paper cited above gives in interesting account of the pre-Jyväskylä days, concentrating on the very few people who were involved in getting some nuclear physics activity established in the country, and setting it in the political context of wartime and post-war Finland.  An interesting read, and of course much easier to read than the typical technical papers I am used to.
