Nuclear Engineering and Design

Nuclear Engineering and Design is the International Journal devoted to all aspects of Nuclear Fission Energy. The journal is affiliated with the European Nuclear Society (ENS) and with the International Association for Structural Mechanics in Reactor Technology, e.v. (IASMiRT).

Nuclear Engineering and Design covers the wide range of disciplines involved in the engineering, design, safety, and construction of nuclear fission reactors. We welcome papers both on applied and innovative aspects and developments in nuclear science and technology.

Fundamentals of Reactor Design include:

• Thermal-Hydraulics (including or not including Core Physics)

• Safety Analysis, Risk Assessment (PSA)

• Structural and Mechanical Engineering

• Radioprotection

• Neutron Physics

• Materials Science

• Fuel Behavior and Design

• Structural Plant Design including seismic analysis

• Engineering of Reactor Components

• Experiments

Aspects beyond fundamentals of Reactor Design covered:

• Accident Analysis and Mitigation Measures

• Balance of Plant optimization

• Reactor Control Systems

• Licensing Issues

• Safeguard Engineering

• Economy of Plants

• Fuel cycle including Reprocessing / Waste Disposal

• Applications of Nuclear Energy: "nuclear-space", nuclear-transportation (ships and not only) . H2 production, desalination (or clean water from sea water),etc.

• Maintenance

• Decommissioning

Papers on new reactor ideas and developments such as SMR, and microreactors, then Generation IV reactors (e.g. inherently safe modular HTRs), High Performance LWRs/HWRs, Molten Salt reactors and LMFBs/GFR will be considered; Actinide Burners, Accelerator Driven Systems, and other special designs of power and research reactors and their applications are also encouraged.
