《核能进展》是一本涵盖核科学和工程各个方面的国际评论期刊。为了与核电的成熟度保持一致，鼓励发表有关安全、选址和环境问题的文章，以及与经济和燃料管理相关的文章。然而，基础物理和工程将仍然是编辑政策的一个重要方面。发表的文章要么具有评论性质，要么更深入地介绍新材料。他们的目标是核能领域的研究人员和技术型管理人员。请注意以下事项：1）PNE寻求中长篇的高质量研究论文。简短的研究论文应提交给《核能年鉴》杂志。2）PNE保留拒绝仅基于生产反应堆设计或解释现有反应堆现象的计算机代码的常规应用的文件的权利。尽管这些论文很有价值，但最好留作实验室报告，而核能方面的进展则寻求在数学和实验核技术领域（包括裂变、聚变（覆盖物理、辐射损伤）、安全、材料方面、经济学等）具有独创性的论文，这些论文在本质上是存档的。3）这些领域的期刊特别寻求偶尔会被邀请的评论论文。
Progress in Nuclear Energy is an international review journal covering all aspects of nuclear science and engineering. In keeping with the maturity of nuclear power, articles on safety, siting and environmental problems are encouraged, as are those associated with economics and fuel management. However, basic physics and engineering will remain an important aspect of the editorial policy. Articles published are either of a review nature or present new material in more depth. They are aimed at researchers and technically-oriented managers working in the nuclear energy field.Please note the following:1) PNE seeks high quality research papers which are medium to long in length. Short research papers should be submitted to the journal Annals in Nuclear Energy.2) PNE reserves the right to reject papers which are based solely on routine application of computer codes used to produce reactor designs or explain existing reactor phenomena. Such papers, although worthy, are best left as laboratory reports whereas Progress in Nuclear Energy seeks papers of originality, which are archival in nature, in the fields of mathematical and experimental nuclear technology, including fission, fusion (blanket physics, radiation damage), safety, materials aspects, economics, etc.3) Review papers, which may occasionally be invited, are particularly sought by the journal in these fields.
