Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In our ever-evolving world, nuclear nonproliferation and security remain paramount global concerns. The need for innovative, robust, and precise sensor technologies is becoming increasingly apparent. The ability to detect, monitor, and safeguard against the illicit spread of nuclear materials and verification nuclear activities is central to international security efforts.
Sensors are widely applied across nuclear applications from radiation monitoring for health and safety to the verification of uranium enrichment during international inspection and space-based nuclear detonation detection.
The contributions to this Special Issue will help advance our collective efforts in preventing nuclear proliferation. We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions to this crucial field of study.
The scope of the Special Issue:
This Special Issue aims to cover a wide array of topics related to sensor technologies for the detection of nuclear materials, including, but not limited to:
- Radiation detection and measurement techniques;
- Nuclear material identification and tracking;
- Advanced sensor materials and designs;
- Data fusion and machine learning applications;
- Remote sensing and surveillance systems;
- Technologies and analysis methods used for nuclear safeguards, treaty verification, and forensics.
This Special Issue covers both theoretical and experimental aspects of sensors applied for the detection of nuclear materials and activities and provides an opportunity for researchers to present their creative, novel, and latest ideas on these topics, which include, but are not limited to, effluent, particle, trace, and radiation sensing instrument design, simulation, and experimental characterizations.

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. Sensors 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.
