  • The Hellenic Nuclear Physics Society (HNPS) is a non-profit organization, which was established in 1991.
    It is a league of scientists who study fundamental problems related to the nature of matter, such as nuclear reactions and nuclear structure. They are also involved in interdisciplinary studies on nuclear astrophysics and nuclear applications to meet societal needs, including nuclear energy, medical diagnoses and environmental issues.
