Historically, the waterfall was a major tourist attraction, being one of the first floodlighted waterfalls by electricity produced by the same waterfall. In 1905, the waterfall and surrounding river were harnessed by the Vemork hydro-electrical power plant to produce power for the saltpetre production at a nearby Norsk Hydro factory.[2]
Name
The waterfall is named Rjukanfossen in Norwegian (Template:Langx). The first element is derived from the present participle of the verb Template:Wikt-lang which means "to emit smoke" or "to emit vapor" (referring to all the froth from the waterfall).[2]
The last element is a later addition to the name which comes from the Norwegian word Template:Wikt-lang which means "the waterfall".
