《核能進展》是一本涵蓋核科學和工程各個方面的國際評論期刊。為了與核電的成熟度保持一致，鼓勵發表有關安全、選址和環境問題的文章，以及與經濟和燃料管理相關的文章。然而，基礎物理和工程將仍然是編輯政策的一個重要方面。發表的文章要么具有評論性質，要么更深入地介紹新材料。他們的目標是核能領域的研究人員和技術型管理人員。請注意以下事項：1）PNE尋求中長篇的高質量研究論文。簡短的研究論文應提交給《核能年鑒》雜志。2）PNE保留拒絕僅基于生產反應堆設計或解釋現有反應堆現象的計算機代碼的常規應用的文件的權利。盡管這些論文很有價值，但最好留作實驗室報告，而核能方面的進展則尋求在數學和實驗核技術領域（包括裂變、聚變（覆蓋物理、輻射損傷）、安全、材料方面、經濟學等）具有獨創性的論文，這些論文在本質上是存檔的。3）這些領域的期刊特別尋求偶爾會被邀請的評論論文。

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.
