Nuclear Fusion

NUCLEAR FUSION (NF) is an international journal published monthly by the IAEA. NF covers work relevant to controlled thermonuclear fusion. Such work comprises the production, heating and confinement of high temperature plasmas, as well as the physical properties of such plasmas and the experimental or theoretical methods of exploring or explaining them. Both magnetic and inertial confinement schemes are considered. NF also publishes work on fusion reactor physics, reactor concepts and closely related technology.

General Information

As of 1 January 2002 the production of Nuclear Fusion is being carried out by the Institute of Physics Publishing (IOPP), Bristol, United Kingdom. The current issue is on line with free access to all at http://iop.org/EJ/nf. Back issues from 1998 onward to 2002 are available to subscribers at no charge, or to non-subscribers via purchase of individual articles at £18.00 or US$30.00 per article.

The scientific contents of Nuclear Fusion remain the responsibility of the scientific editor of the IAEA and the Editorial Office in Vienna.

The peer review continues to be managed by the IAEA Editorial office, however we now have use of the IOP electronic systems. This means that authors can submit their articles and track the status online via IOP Journals Author services.

All queries on the review procedure should still be directed to the IAEA Editorial office:
