North American Young Generation in Nuclear

The North American Young Generation in Nuclear (NA-YGN) is an organization formed under the purpose of uniting young people in the fields of nuclear science and technology. Individuals can participate in the organization by becoming a continental member, joining a local chapter or joining a continental committee.
