The National Nuclear Physics Summer School, held annually since 1988, is an effort by the nuclear physics community to acquaint students with the forefront issues of the field and with the experimental and theoretical tools that are available to nuclear physics researchers. The intent is to broaden student appreciation for and interest in the field, while also strengthening them technically. Typically most of the field's major directions are represented in the lectures: hot and cold nuclear matter, electromagnetic physics, weak interactions, astrophysics, and nuclear structure. Advanced graduate students and beginning postdoctoral researchers are the target audience. School organizers are charged with identifying outstanding lecturers from theory and experiment, conducting the school in a manner that encourages discussion and interaction, and developing supporting materials, including an online archive of lectures that can serve as a long-term reference for participating students and for others who are interested in the current status of nuclear physics. School organizers are assisted by the Principal Investigators and by a Steering Committee appointed by the Division of Nuclear Physics of the American Physical Society.The school is often the first opportunity for students to recognize the breadth of nuclear physics and to interact across subfields. Thus, it plays an important role in building a nuclear physics community. Student morale is enhanced by this opportunity and by the chance to meet with some of the field's leading researchers. The school allows students from under-represented groups to network with their peers. Students leave the school with stronger backgrounds in nuclear physics, and with new knowledge of their chosen specialties. As the lectures are preserved in an on-line archive, the students can return to this material when a need arises during their subsequent training and research. Students are given a chance to present talks and thus to gain experience in making presentations to a diverse audience.

国家核物理暑期学校自1988年以来每年举办一次，是核物理界为使学生熟悉该领域的前沿问题以及核物理研究人员可用的实验和理论工具所做的努力。 其目的是扩大学生对该领域的欣赏和兴趣，同时在技术上加强他们。 通常，该领域的主要方向在讲座中有代表性：热和冷核物质，电磁物理学，弱相互作用，天体物理学和核结构。 高级研究生和博士后研究人员是目标受众。 学校组织者负责从理论和实验中确定优秀的讲师，以鼓励讨论和互动的方式开展学校，并开发辅助材料，包括在线讲座档案，可以作为参与学生和其他对核物理现状感兴趣的人的长期参考。 学校组织者由主要研究人员和美国物理学会核物理部任命的指导委员会协助。学校通常是学生认识核物理学的广度并跨子领域进行互动的第一个机会。 因此，它在建立核物理共同体方面发挥着重要作用。 学生的士气是通过这个机会，并有机会与该领域的一些领先的研究人员见面。 学校允许来自代表性不足群体的学生与同龄人建立联系。 学生离开学校时具有更强的核物理背景，并对他们所选择的专业有了新的认识。 由于讲座被保存在在线档案中，学生可以在随后的培训和研究中需要时返回这些材料。学生们有机会发表演讲，从而获得向不同听众发表演讲的经验。
