About This Journal

Nuclear Safety is a technical progress journal edited by Dr. M. D. Muhlheim at the Operational Performance Technology Section in the Engineering Technology Division (ETD) of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Nuclear Safety publishes technical articles and reviews and reports recent developments regarding the safety aspects in the design, construction, operation, and decommissioning of nuclear power reactors worldwide and the research and analysis activities that promote this goal. It also encompasses the safety aspects of the entire nuclear fuel cycle, including fuel fabrication, spent-fuel processing and handling, and nuclear waste disposal, the handling of fissionable materials and radioisotopes, and the environmental effects of all these activities. Many articles are in-depth technical reviews of selected topics by nationally and/or internationally recognized authorities and contain extensive references. Nuclear Safety is used by reactor designers, builders, and operators, and by researchers, administrators, and public-safety officials in both government and private industry.
