The Nuclear Physics Division constitutes researchers working in nuclear reactions and structure physics and associated developmental projects.  One of the major activities of the division is centered around the development of an accelerator Facility for research in Low Energy Astrophysics (FRENA). At SINP, research in the Nuclear Sciences has its genesis in the activities pioneered and led by Prof. Meghnad Saha in 1940. A journey which started around the design and development of a small cyclotron and measurement of fission cross-section of 235U by a limited number of dedicated workers, has traversed a long path in exploring the secrets of atoms, nuclei and molecules by using, at present, the state of the art techniques and involving different groups of people spread across the country.

A 14.8 MeV neutron generator was also successfully installed in the Institute during this period.
