Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The impact of nuclear energy and nuclear technology on the environment can be seen everywhere; with the strengthening of government supervision, people of all countries pay more and more attention to the harmonious development of nuclear energy, nuclear technology and the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out technical analysis, strategic research and policy formulation discussion in this area, to seek sustainable development.
Nuclear energy assessment: The impact of nuclear energy on the environment is related to the quality of life of people, fortunately, the people have fully realized the importance of the environmental impact of nuclear energy. However, there is still room for improvement in local areas, especially for the treatment of spent fuel with a very long radioactive half-life. Additionally, newer reactors should be developed to improve their environmental friendliness from the source.
Nuclear technology assessment: Nuclear technology has very wide civil research value, including various ray devices, they are often used in medical treatment, agricultural sterilization, industrial non-destructive testing, etc. However, the balance between environmental friendliness and economy needs to be further studied. The study of nuclear technology and its impact on the environment is also of great scientific significance and practical value.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following: (a) nuclear energy and the environment; (b) nuclear technology and the environment; (c) nuclear fuel cycle; (d) nuclear fuel management; (e) nuclear medicine and sustainable development; (f) advanced nuclear detection technology and algorithms; (g) radiation protection and shielding.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
