Division Mission
From the Professional Divisions Manual:
The division was organized to promote the
advancement of knowledge of the use of particle
accelerator technologies for nuclear and other
applications. It focuses on production of neutrons
and other particles, utilization of these particles for
scientific or industrial purposes, such as the
production or destruction of radionuclides significant
to energy, medicine, defense or other endeavors, as
well as imaging and diagnostics.
