Germany election brings nuclear power back into spotlight
It’s been less than two years since Germany shuttered its three remaining nuclear plants on April 15, 2023—the culmination of a decision reached during the backlash following the Fukushima Daiichi accident in Japan in 2011.
Edited by Dr. Farzad Rahnema, Nuclear Science and Engineering (NSE) is the first and oldest peer-reviewed journal in its field, published by ANS since 1956. Printed twelve times a year, NSE is widely recognized as an outstanding source of information on fundamental and applied research in all scientific areas related to the peaceful use of nuclear energy, as well as on applications of nuclear particles and radiation.
Authors: Publication of articles in NSE is free of charge. Optionally, open access publication is available for a fee.
Information for Readers
