Abstract

The TRIGA Mark II research reactor at the Jožef Stefan Institute is a key facility in the field of nuclear research, characterized by its versatility and applicability in a wide range of scientific disciplines. This document highlights its operational history, contributions to nuclear safety, education and various scientific applications, including advances in reactor and radiation physics, neutron activation analysis, environmental science and even contributions to the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. It highlights the reactor’s significant role in fostering international collaborations, improving computer modeling techniques for nuclear research, and providing invaluable educational experiences. The great versatility and applicability of the JSI TRIGA reactor is emphasized by its adaptability to various research needs and its ability to enable groundbreaking studies in both fundamental and applied sciences.

期刊介绍： Annals of Nuclear Energy provides an international medium for the communication of original research, ideas and developments in all areas of the field of nuclear energy science and technology. Its scope embraces nuclear fuel reserves, fuel cycles and cost, materials, processing, system and component technology (fission only), design and optimization, direct conversion of nuclear energy sources, environmental control, reactor physics, heat transfer and fluid dynamics, structural analysis, fuel management, future developments, nuclear fuel and safety, nuclear aerosol, neutron physics, computer technology (both software and hardware), risk assessment, radioactive waste disposal and reactor thermal hydraulics. Papers submitted to Annals need to demonstrate a clear link to nuclear power generation/nuclear engineering. Papers which deal with pure nuclear physics, pure health physics, imaging, or attenuation and shielding properties of concretes and various geological materials are not within the scope of the journal. Also, papers that deal with policy or economics are not within the scope of the journal.
