Frontiers in Nuclear Engineering

Aims & Scope

Frontiers in Nuclear Engineering is a multidisciplinary journal that publishes research across nuclear science, technology, and engineering.

Led by Field Chief Editor Prof Sergei Dudarev (United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority, UK), this DOAJ indexed journal publishes research on various domains of nuclear engineering.

Applications of nuclear engineering have grown rapidly in recent years and increasingly transcend conventional subject boundaries.

The journal aims to advance multidisciplinary research in this field and welcomes submissions that bridge the gap between research and practical applications.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • advanced modelling and simulation of processes, materials and systems • applications of machine learning and artificial intelligence • design of reactors and power plants • effects of radiation on materials, components and systems • fission and fusion materials and power generation • fundamentals and applications of plasmas • management of nuclear waste • nuclear materials • nuclear plant decommissioning and spent fuel management • nuclear systems engineering • radiation effects • structural integrity and nuclear safety analysis.

The journal does not publish papers on nuclear medicine.

Manuscripts on the military applications of nuclear energy, or the effects of radiation on live tissues, are not suitable for publication in this journal.
