The Journal of Nuclear Materials publishes high quality papers in materials research relevant to nuclear fission and fusion reactors
and high power accelerator technologies, and in closely related aspects of materials science and engineering. Both original research
and critical review papers covering experimental, theoretical, and computational aspects of either fundamental or applied nature are
welcome. The breadth of the field is such that a wide range of processes and properties is of interest to the readership, spanning atomic
lattice defects, microstructures, thermodynamics, corrosion and mechanical and physical properties, for example. The following list,
which is not exhaustive, describes topics appropriate to the Journal.
• Fission reactor materials, including fuels, cladding,
core structures, pressure vessels, moderator and control components; fission product behavior.
• Materials aspects of the entire
fuel cycle.
• Performance of nuclear waste materials, glasses and ceramics, immobilization of wastes.
• Fusion reactor
materials, including first walls, blankets, insulators and magnets.
• Neutron radiation effects in materials, including defects,
microstructures, transmutations, phase changes and macroscopic properties.
• Interaction of plasmas, ion beams, electron beams
and electromagnetic radiation with materials.
The journal of Nuclear Materials also publishes important conference proceedings.
