| description abstract | ASME/NED Chair's Message;tulations! As a high quality hard copy of the October 2017 issue has been published, the third year of operation has been very successfully completed for the Journal of Nuclear Engineering and Radiation Science. Representing the Nuclear Engineering Division (NED) of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), I cordially thank our editor, associate and guest editors, as well as all the reviewers for their exceptional services to the journal (see details in Prof. Igor Pioro's Editorial). I also sincerely thank our authors and readers for their loyalty and great contributions to this journal. Created by the ASME Nuclear Engineering Division and debuted in January 2015, the Journal of Nuclear Engineering and Radiation Science has been comprised of research and development work from universities, national labs, and the nuclear industry. Over the last three years, the journal has been serving as an exquisite platform to share technical information internationally. This elegant platform is undoubtedly a great support for reliable nuclear power production, which is in turn indispensable to reduce environmental pollution and to mitigate relevant global challenges. | |
