Special Section: Selected Papers from ICONE-27

Abstract

Guest Editorial team:Because of the in-depth review process, which has ensured high-quality papers, and the important topics that are discussed, we hope that this Special Section of the ASME Journal of Nuclear Engineering and Radiation Science will be a valuable addition to the book of knowledge. This is an appropriate time and place to mention and to thank a very large number of people, who give their time and expertise to make continued growth of the ICONEs. The success of the ICONE series of conferences would be impossible without them. First, thanks to all authors, their research and development work, ingenuity, and dedication to the nuclear industry. Reviewers volunteer their talent, time, and objectivity as they fulfill their responsibility. Reviewers may also be assigned to multiple papers within relatively short time. Of course, ICONE would be impossible without the track and session organizers as they were often responsible for inviting prospective authors, planning and organizing multiple sessions within the topical tracks. We wish to express our deepest gratitude to all of you for outstanding and continued support of ICONE series of conferences and for making possible the publication of this special topical section of the Journal of Nuclear Engineering and Radiation Science.
