nuclear physicists

Fission reaction researchers

Nuclear physicists are scientists who study the structure, behavior, and interactions of atomic nuclei.

Their work ranges from understanding fundamental particles and forces to practical applications like nuclear energy, medical imaging, and radiation therapy.

The field emerged in the early twentieth century with discoveries about radioactivity and atomic structure.

Nuclear physicists at the research facility are investigating fusion as a potential energy source.
