ASME to Launch Nuclear Engineering Journal

ASME to Launch Nuclear Engineering Journal ASME to Launch Nuclear Engineering Journal ASME to Launch Nuclear Engineering Journal Nuclear power plants currently generate about 14 percent of the worlds electricity. And demand is growing, with new nuclear reactors now under construction in many countries around the globe. ASME is in the process of launching a new journal, the ASME Journal of Nuclear Engineering and Radiation Science, to help disseminate research from this ever-growing field to nuclear and power engineering specialists in industry, academia and government.Technical papers are now being accepted for publication in the new journal, the first issue of which is expected to be published in the first quarter of 2015. ASME Fellow Igor Pioro, a member of the University of Ontario Institute of Technologys energy systems and nuclear science faculty, is the editor for the new journal. The ASME Journal of Nuclear Engineering and Radiation Science will feature technical paper s covering a wide sortiment of nuclear-related topics such as nuclear plant operations, maintenance, engineering, modifications and life cycle fusion engineering nuclear fuel and materials radiation protection and nuclear technology applications next generation reactors and advanced reactors nuclear education, public acceptance and related issues and codes, standards, licensing and regulatory issues. Other areas to be addressed by the new journals papers will include thermal hydraulics plant systems, construction, structures and components nuclear safety and security fuel cycle, radioactive waste management and decommissioning computational fluid dynamics and coupled codes reactor physics and transport theory and instrumentation and controls. Authors of journal-quality papers who would like to be considered for publication in the ASME Journal of Nuclear Engineering and Radiation Science should visit the ASME Journals Digital Submission Site on ASME.org at http//journaltool.asme.or g and choose Nuclear Engineering and Radiation Science from the list of journals. If you would like to learn more about the journal or have a question or comment about it contact Dr. Pioro by e-mail at igor.piorouoit.ca.
