IEEE Nuclear & Plasma Sciences Society: Celebrating 75 Years

The first activity on record in the nuclear and plasma sciences field was the formation of a Nuclear Studies Committee in the Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE) in 1947 to determine the proper role of the IRE in this new technical field. Subsequently, in 1949, the Professional Group on Nuclear Science (PGNS) was formed, marking the early origins of the IEEE Nuclear & Plasma Sciences Society (NPSS).
