Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nuclear energy provides a reliable and sustainable energy supply to the electricity industry as clean energy. This Issue aims to include relevant research to show the processes and recent updates in nuclear technologies. We will address the following topics:
Reactor safety;Reliability;
Thermal-hydraulics;
Nuclear materials;
Artificial intelligence;
Sustainability.
Based on the prediction from all energy agencies that by 2050 more than 50% of energy production on the Earth will come from fossil fuels, significant decarbonization effort is urgently needed in order to achieve a manageable decrease in the Earth’s temperature resulting from global warming. Decarbonizing electricity production via nuclear energy is a part of the solution. Therefore, it is critical to support the deployment of current and advanced nuclear technologies if the decarbonization efforts are to be reached. To respond to the need for decarbonization, the U.S. Department of Energy leads a series of research works on the development of nuclear energy science and technology, and a huge number of national laboratories, universities, and industries are involved in this process.
The research topic of advanced Sustainable nuclear energy technologies aims to publish the relevant research regarding the most advanced and timely nuclear technology worldwide. This research topic embraces advanced nuclear fuel development, nuclear fuel cycles, nuclear materials, advanced nuclear design, nuclear reactor physics, nuclear waste management, nuclear thermal hydraulics, and nuclear safety. In this research topic, all research works that are relevant to nuclear power generation and nuclear engineering are welcomed. Other research scopes not included above but which are related to the theme are also encouraged for submission.

Manuscript Submission Information
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. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short 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 thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
