Rutgers Nuclear Society

Students shaping the next atomic age.

RUNFS brings Rutgers students into nuclear science, fusion energy, reactor systems, radiation, research, and policy through a sharp technical community.

About

Nuclear science without the noise.

We are a Rutgers student organization for people curious about the technologies behind clean firm power, medical isotopes, space systems, national laboratories, plasma physics, and advanced reactors.

The club exists to make a demanding field more legible. We connect undergraduates with faculty, labs, alumni, conferences, and each other, then give members room to ask better questions and build real technical confidence.

Clarity
Explain radiation, reactors, safety, risk, and waste with precision.
Access
Open the field to every major and every level of prior experience.
Practice
Turn interest into research, outreach, workshops, and project work.
