The scope of the IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science includes theory, technology, and application areas related to nuclear science and engineering. It focuses on instrumentation for the detection and measurement of ionizing radiation; materials (including their preparation and characterization) for the detection of ionizing radiation; radiation imaging not related to medicine; particle accelerators and their controls; effects of radiation on materials, components, and systems; reactor instrumentation and controls; measurement of radiation in space and terrestrial environments; and computing applications related to nuclear science. Tutorial and review papers that cover the above subjects are also considered.
