NUCLEAR SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING

Nuclear Science and Engineering is the oldest peer-reviewed journal in its field. Our aim now is the same as when we started publication in 1956, which is to provide the leading source of information on fundamental and applied research in all scientific areas related to the peaceful use of nuclear energy for the benefit of all. We publish technical papers, technical notes, critical reviews, rapid communications, book reviews, and letters to the editor. Technical papers present archival, original contributions to the field of knowledge. Technical notes describe preliminary results or limited extensions of previously reported work. Critical reviews combine a focused topical overview with an extensive literature review to critically evaluate the state-of-the-art, but do not necessarily add new knowledge to the field. Rapid communications provide speedy publication, after accelerated review and processing, of innovative work of high and immediate interest to the journal readership. Book reviews give an overview of a recently published book, including a brief summary and statement of value to the community. Letters to the editor provide an expeditious medium for comments on editorial policies and for discussions on the content of other contributions. We welcome submissions that explore the following topics: Fundamental physics related to nuclear systems Theoretical physics Radiation physics Reactor physics Nuclear criticality Nuclear data and reactions Neutron transport Reactor core analysis and modeling Uncertainty analysis and quantification Reactor and fuel performance analysis Transient analysis Fluid dynamics/multiphase flow Heat transfer Fission product yields Waste product analysis Depletion/burnup of nuclear fuels Once your article has been assessed for suitability by the editor, it will be single-blind peer reviewed by expert referees.
