The IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science is a publication of the IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society. It is viewed as the primary source of technical information in many of the areas it covers. As judged by JCR impact factor, TNS consistently ranks in the top five journals in the category of Nuclear Science & Technology. It has one of the higher immediacy indices, indicating that the information it publishes is viewed as timely, and has a relatively long citation half-life, indicating that the published information also is viewed as valuable for a number of years.The IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science is published bimonthly. Its scope includes all aspects of the theory and application of nuclear science and engineering. It focuses on instrumentation for the detection and measurement of ionizing radiation; particle accelerators and their controls; nuclear medicine and its application; effects of radiation on materials, components, and systems; reactor instrumentation and controls; and measurement of radiation in space.

《IEEE核科學匯刊》是IEEE核與等離子體科學學會的出版物。在它所涵蓋的許多領域中，它被視為技術信息的主要來源。根據JCR影響因素的判斷，TNS在核科學技術類的前五名期刊中一直排名第一。它有一個較高的即時性指標，表明它發布的信息被視為及時的，引用半衰期相對較長，表明發布的信息也被視為有價值的若干年。《IEEE核科學匯刊》每兩個月出版一期。它的范圍包括核科學和工程的理論和應用的各個方面。它側重于檢測和測量電離輻射的儀器；粒子加速器及其控制裝置；核醫學及其應用；輻射對材料、部件和系統的影響；反應堆儀器和控制裝置；以及空間輻射測量。
