Progress in Nuclear Energy is an international review journal covering all aspects of nuclear science and engineering especially applicable to nuclear energy. In keeping with the maturity of nuclear fission power, articles on various technical aspects of nuclear power plants including safety, siting and environmental issues are encouraged, as are those associated with economics, public policy, and fuel management. However, studies of new physics phenomena and engineering design and analysis tools and innovations will remain an important aspect of the journal's scope. Articles published in Progress in Nuclear Energy are either of a review nature or present new material in more depth. They are aimed at researchers and technically oriented managers working in the nuclear energy field.

Please note the following:

  • PNE seeks high quality innovative research papers which are medium to long in length. Short research papers should be submitted to the journal Annals of Nuclear Energy.

  • PNE reserves the right to reject papers which are based solely on routine application of computer codes used to produce reactor designs or reproduce known reactor phenomena. Such papers, although worthy, are best left as laboratory reports. Progress in Nuclear Energy seeks papers which are original, expand knowledge in the field, and are archival in nature, in the fields of mathematical, computational, and experimental nuclear technology, including fission, fusion devices' blanket physics and radiation damage, safety, materials aspects, economics, Nuclear Cogeneration (where the emphasis for this journal must be focused on the nuclear power aspects of cogeneration, not the various applications of the nuclear-generated energy) etc.

  • Review papers, which may occasionally be invited, are particularly sought by the journal in these fields, but may also be proposed by experts in the field by contacting one of the Editors.

    • This journal welcomes contributions that support and advance the UN's sustainable development goals, in particular SDG 7 (Affordable and clean energy) and SDG 13 (Climate Action)
