Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are inviting submissions to this Special Issue on nuclear-powered desalination systems and hydrogen production.
Sustainable and renewable energy are promising technologies worth considering as alternatives for an energy mix combined with the cogeneration concept of nonrenewable energy sources. Nuclear energy is a clean source of energy with a number of useful applications in various fields. However, all of these applications depend upon the 4S safety concept, which is related to the design, operation, and integration of nuclear reactors. Therefore, innovation in design is a key aspect. Further, modularization in the design, cost-effectiveness, and inherent safety features are important to consider. As water is scarce in various parts of the world, desalinating water by using nuclear power is a sustainable solution. Further, hydrogen is an energy carrier in nature suitable for electricity generation as well as future transportation usage in fuel cell applications, which is currently considered and valued as a future clean fuel. Therefore, it is very important to discuss the economic, public view, coastal, atmospheric, and marine impacts on the safe operation of nuclear-powered desalination and hydrogen-coupled reactors. Therefore, this issue covers nuclear power reactor design, operational aspects, state-of-the-art nuclear desalination and hydrogen systems, the social aspects and economics of nuclear desalination and hydrogen production, and coupled nuclear hybrid energy systems. Submissions on novel concepts and innovations in these areas of research are appreciated.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
