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.

NPSS Distinguished Lecturer Program
Message From The NPSS President
The NPSS is a 3,000 member strong
society within the IEEE, dedicated to the advancement of the theory and
practice of engineering in the nuclear and plasma sciences. The
NPSS is devoted to the publication and dissemination of original
contributions to theory, experiments, and applications in these fields,
and to educational methods and the development of standards. The NPSS
is also a place to greet old friends and meet new ones. Joining the
NPSS enhances your ability to network with other talented and prominent
technical professionals and the NPSS provides the structure you need to
enhance your career. We invite you to put your membership into
practice by volunteering to serve on a technical committee, educational
board or standards committee. The experience you gain puts you on
a career path for success.
The NPSS is truly international in scope. Europe,
Asia, Australia and South America all have major research activities in
our areas of interest. The NPSS strongly encourages participation in
our activities from our members, regardless of the location of their
home institution. To promote participation and to serve our expanding
transnational community, the NPSS sponsors an increasing number of
conferences and meetings outside the continental United States and
encourages members who are not residents of North America to join our
well established and very active Transnational Committee or seek NPSS
leadership positions. Information about the Transnational Committee can
be found on the NPSS website or by contacting me directly.
The NPSS is composed of eight technical interest
groups whose activities cover all aspects of the nuclear and plasma
sciences. The interests and applications include nuclear science
and medical imaging, radiation effects and instrumentation, particle
accelerators, pulsed power technology, and plasma science and
applications, including fusion technologies. The NPSS engages in
many activities including sponsoring five annual and six biennial major
conferences and symposia. We also sponsor or co-sponsor 4 well
respected peer reviewed journals and engage in the development and
maintenance of relevant technical standards.
If you are not already an NPSS member, go to "Join
NPSS" link at the left and follow the instructions for joining.
Members of one of our more than 30 affiliated societies can join as an
affiliate member for a relatively small cost b. As an affiliate,
you have all the privileges of membership except the right to hold an
elective office or to vote. A list of the affiliates is given on
the back cover of the IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science and the IEEE
Transactions on Plasma Science. I hope you will consider joining us,
and if you have questions about the society or membership, please feel
free to contact me at jmlehr@sandia.gov.
Sincerely,
Jane Lehr
NPSS President
