The Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society is one of 39 societies of the IEEE. The fields of interest of the NPSS include Nuclear Science and Engineering (including radiation detection and monitoring instrumentation, radiation effects, nuclear biomedical applications, particle accelerators, and instrumentation for nuclear power generation), and Plasma Science and Engineering (including plasma dynamics, thermonuclear fusion, plasma sources, relativistic electron beams, laser plasma interactions, diagnostics, and solid state plasmas). The NPSS sponsors seven conferences and two peer reviewed journals.

Message From The NPSS President
     The Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society is one of 38 Societies within the IEEE and is devoted to the advancement of electrical and electronic engineering in nuclear and plasma sciences. It encompasses a broad range of interests in these fields which includes radiation instrumentation, medical imaging sciences, radiation effects, plasma sciences and its applications, fusion technology, pulsed power systems, particle accelerator science and technology, and computer applications for nuclear and plasma sciences. It provides for the dissemination and exchange of information in these areas by sponsoring numerous conferences, workshops and symposia each year, and through the publication of important new results in several IEEE transactions and journals. These activities provide a forum where members of our community can met and interact with colleagues not only in their own field, but also in other related fields, where they can expand their knowledge and learn about new emerging technologies.
    As a member of both IEEE and NPSS, you will receive unlimited access to both the Transactions on Nuclear Science and the Transactions on Plasma Science, as well as all NPSS Conference Proceedings. You will also receive the NPSS Newsletter which will allow you to keep abreast of upcoming conferences and other activities within our Society. And, as a member of IEEE, you will receive a copy of Spectrum Magazine, which will keep you informed about what is happening in the entire IEEE organization.  Our Society also gives out a number of awards each year for outstanding contributions in various fields, ranging from student and early career awards, to lifetime achievement awards. We also sponsor numerous educational programs, a program for women in science and engineering, and a Distinguished Lecturer program.
    The NPSS is also a very international and culturally diverse group. We sponsor many conferences outside the US, with ever increasing numbers being held in Europe and Asia. We have numerous chapters around the world and our international membership is growing. We strongly encourage participation in all of our Society’s activities by our international colleagues, and look forward to expanding our activities into new geographical regions in the future.
    What makes our Society what it is are the people who are a part of it, and I strongly encourage all of you to participate in keeping it healthy and helping it grow. If you are not a member, please have a look at the information in this brochure and consider joining. I’m sure you will not regret it. The colleagues you meet and the friends you will make will last a lifetime. If you are already a member, please also consider serving the Society in your own way as a volunteer. You can become involved in many ways, including being elected to one of our committees, forming a chapter, or helping to organize a conference. I look forward to meeting many of you during my term of office as NPSS President and finding ways to make our Society serve you better. If you have any questions about the NPSS or what it can do for you, please do not hesitate to contact me at woody@bnl.gov.

Sincerely,
Craig Woody
NPSS President
