Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue invites contributions focusing on advancements in materials of experimental, theoretical, and computational aspects for nuclear applications. The topics of the Special Issue include the materials of fuels, cladding, core structures, pressure vessels, moderator and control components for fission reactors, and the first walls, blankets, insulators, and magnets for fusion reactors. The Special Issue welcomes the subjects of the interaction of neutrons, plasmas, ion beams, electron beams and electromagnetic radiation with materials in nuclear systems. The neutron and charged particle radiation effects in materials, including defects, transmutations, microstructures, phase changes, and macroscopic properties, are also a major concern of this issue.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
