Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nuclear systems play a prominent role in energy production at the global level, and reactor physics is a lively field of research both for industrial applications and fundamental physics. Nowadays, this field is further enriched by neutrino reactor monitoring and the study of reactors as neutrino sources. In the last decade we have witnessed tremendous advances in reactor science, which deserve to be a focus of applied science. This Special Issue on "New Advances in Nuclear Systems, Reactor Physics, and Neutrino Monitoring of Reactors" testifies for such advances and is aimed at gathering researchers from all over the world to provide new insights and novel results in the field. The main subjects of this Special Issue are:
Advances in Generation IV reactors.
- Reactor modeling (thermofluids, fuel and moderators, nuclear reaction chains, mechanics, etc.).
- Reactor monitoring.
- Reactors as neutrino sources.
- Neutrino monitoring of nuclear plants.
- Fission reactions and neutrino production.
- Accelerator-driven reactors.
Given the multidisciplinary nature of reactor science, we are interested in novel or unconventional approaches that open perspectives to address the main challenges of reactor science (efficiency, safety, reliability, nuclear waste disposal, etc.). Some of these approaches are currently pursued in the framework of Generation V, and we look forward to receiving contributions on these developments as well.

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. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
