AfP stems from the realisation that the world is faced with unprecedented challenges in providing clean and sustainable water, electricity, energy, and soon hydrogen, to support economic and demographic growth that will strain available resources. AfP utilises this as an opportunity to highlight the peaceful uses of atomic energy in recent years and the potential role of atoms in the coming years, particularly in scientific research applied to the medical, industrial, agricultural and other sectors.
Topics covered include
- Legal/political issues related to international movements of nuclear fuel and radioactive waste
- Nuclear energy policy
- Modelisation and simulation
- Nuclear applications and techniques
- Nuclear physics and reactor engineering
- Nuclear safety and security
- Nuclear medicine, medical physics, dosimetry and radiation therapy

Objectives
The objectives of AFP are to establish an effective channel of communication between policy makers, government agencies, academic and research institutions and persons concerned with the complex role of nuclear energy in society. It serves as an international forum for exchange of ideas and views on the global implications of nuclear technology for economic growth, sustainable development and international security. It also aims to promote and coordinate developments in the field of energy and water resources. The international dimension is emphasised in order to overcome cultural and national barriers and to meet the needs of international security
Atoms for Peace will:
- Bring about the emergence of a new voice in the political discourse over the peaceful use of nuclear energy
- Create an ongoing dialogue between decision makers and the practitioner-stakeholders in nuclear energy, including representatives from industry and the armed forces, as well as various other international constituencies
- Differentiate between those military uses of nuclear power necessary for national defence and international security and those which could be detrimental to global stability
- Provide a substantive, politically viable and technically feasible draft framework around which future debate can take place
- Raise the nuclear issue to a position of prominence within the agendas of world leaders
- Facilitate the process of reaching a new global agreement on nuclear security.
Readership
Professionals, academics, researchers, policy makers and managers
Contents
The journal will publish high quality papers from a wide variety of disciplinary orientations on the general subject of peaceful uses of nuclear energy. The journal style and dialogue will be inclusive and attempt to involve all those who are interested in issues of atoms for peace (government agencies, both national and international, industry, academics, non governmental organisations).
The journal publishes original papers, theoretical (literature review based), empirical (work surveys and case studies) critically reflective work (thought-leadership commentaries) describing and developing pertinent insights into the broad subject matter, conference reports, relevant reports and news, book reviews and briefs.
Commentaries on papers and reports published in the Journal are encouraged. Authors will have the opportunity to respond to the commentary on their work before the entire treatment is published.
Special issues devoted to important topics in Atoms for Peace, and related topics, will be published occasionally.
