| About NPSS
The IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society (NPSS)
originated in 1949 as the Professional Group on Nuclear Science within
the IRE. At about the same time, the AIEE formed two committees, one on
nucleonics, the other on nucleonic and radiation instruments. In 1963,
the IRE and AIEE merged to form the IEEE. This resulted in the creation
of the Nuclear Science Group. In 1972, Plasma Science was added and the
group was promoted to
a society. The NPSS is composed of nine technical committees with a
common interest in advancing nuclear and plasma sciences.
