Dear Colleagues,

The special issue "Advances in Nuclear Energy" is devoted to new developments and advanced concepts in the nuclear energy and applications. In recent years of nuclear renaissance the articles of particular interest should deal with advanced nuclear energy concepts, new research in the areas of nuclear energy development and deployment, and specific areas such as: advanced computational approaches with advanced visualizations in nuclear simulations, the use of numerical models in construction, siting and operation as well as design of nuclear power plants, transition from research to power nuclear reactors for model-scaling and simulation tools benchmarking, inventions in the areas of new materials for prolonging the life of current nuclear power plants and reducing the volume of low-level radioactive waste, and nuclear forensics of interest to nuclear fuel cycle. Specific areas of interest are detailed below.

Submission

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. Papers will be published continuously (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are refereed through a peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed Open Access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1200 CHF (Swiss Francs).
