Nuclear reactor design and analysis never stops, and engineers have an extensive computational toolbox from which to draw for their work. Since 1979, one such tool has been the RELAP5 modeling and simulation software. Now, American Nuclear Society journal Nuclear Technology has announced plans for a special issue dedicated to RELAP5 developments and applications.

Submission of abstracts is open now; email guest editor George Mesina by November 15 to express interest.
