Acknowledgements
Acknowledgements including fund statements should appear on the title page as such; The authors wish to thank Prof. B. Atom for the helpful comments to prepare this template. However, the Acknowledgements will be placed before reference when printed.
Fund statement should be supplied in a separate paragraph as follows; This work was supported by the <Funding Agency #1> under Grant <number xxxx>; <Funding Agency #2> under Grant <number xxxx>; and <Funding Agency #3> under Grant <number xxxx>.
These sentences will appear after the conclusion when an article is finally published.
The length of an abstract should be 200 words or less. It should briefly state a purpose, method and results of the manuscript. Authors who are submitting "Letter to the Editor" and “Corrigendum” need not to write an abstract. All types of papers need keywords as shown below.

1. Introduction
This is a MS-Word template for authors submitting the manuscripts to the Journal of Nuclear Science and Technology (JNST). Please also refer to “Instructions for Authors”;
http://www.tandfonline.com/action/authorSubmission?journalCode=tnst20&page=instructions
2. Manuscript Preparation
2.1. Size of Pages
Original data should be provided using double-spaced, single-column typing, preferably of A4 size (210 mm × 297 mm). The suggested length of each typed page is 300 to 400 words (25 lines per page for 12 point font).
2.2. Typography and Symbol Usage
Care must be taken to ensure that all symbols are legible, capital and lower case letters are distinctive, superscripts and subscripts are identifiable, and Greek letters are distinguishable. Typographical instructions can be added in red if necessary. The metric system (SI) must be used for all scientific and technical data.
2.3. Headings, Footnotes and Pagination
Use, 1, 2,... for major (bold initial capital only), 2.1., 2.2., ... for secondary (bold italic initial caption only), 2.1.1., 2.1.2.... for tertiary (italic initial caption only), and (a), (b) for fourth headings (italic initial caption only, text runs on). Footnotes in the text should be marked by lower-case superscript letters, such as a and b, and placed at the foot of the page[a]. Whole pages of the main body should be numbered in sequence.
2.4. Abbreviations, Units and Equations
2.4.1. Abbreviations
Standard abbreviations are acceptable in the text, but must not appear in the title or abstract of the paper, except for quite familiar ones such as PWR. For local or newly coined abbreviations, the original term must be spelled out and enclosed in parentheses in its first usage within the text. For example, "Japan Power Demonstration Reactor (JPDR)."
2.4.2. Units
All measurements and data should be given in metric (SI) units.
2.4.3. Equations
Equations should be carefully written and checked so that a typesetter can easily follow. It must be provided in text editable format. Do not paste it as a picture. Equation should be referred as Equation (1) in the text. Equation numbers should be in Arabic numerals enclosed in parentheses on the right-hand side margin. See following example.
(1)
(2)
2.5. Figures and Tables
2.5.1. Usage
Graphs, illustrations and photographs are all referred to as "Figure(s)" and should be consecutively numbered with Arabic numerals in the order of their appearance. The figures should be provided by separate files, rather than being inserted in the text or following the text. Each figure must have a descriptive title, and all figure titles should be listed on a separate sheet as caption list. Figure 1 is an example.
< Figure 1 >
2.5.2. Font size, type
Figures should be prepared to fit in one column width of 8cm or two columns of 17cm. Check that all letters are legible (8-point size). Inadequate usage of small sized labels will restrict the reduction in size of figures. It will waste a large space in printed page, and will end up increasing in charges which will be billed to the author. The preferred file types for figures are TIFF (tagged image file format), EPS (encapsulated PostScript) and Postscript (600 dpi or larger). Figures can also be submitted as JPEG, PowerPoint and PICT files but it may not appear clear enough when printed and is not recommended.
All figures should be uploaded individually. If the figure was prepared in MS-Word format, it should be labeled in the margin with the manuscript title, author's name, figure number and figure caption. Figure captions can be added in the system for those who are uploading in TIFF, EPS, and Postscript via ScholarOne Manuscript.
Figures should only be submitted in color where the use of color is necessary for the purpose of understanding the figure. Otherwise, black and white is preferred. Please see http://journalauthors.tandf.co.uk/preparation/artwork.asp for further instructions.
2.5.3. Tables
Each table should (a) carry a complete title, (b) be numbered in sequence with Arabic numerals, e.g., "Table 1," and (c) typed in single-spaced on a separate sheet. Tables should not be imported in the text and it must be provided in text editable format. Do not paste it as a picture. Tables should be designed to fit in one column. Table 1 is an example.
< Table 1
2.6. How to Write References
2.6.1. Location in text
Reference call-outs should be set with Arabic numerals in square parentheses, and numbered throughout the entire manuscript in the order of its appearance. Literature citations should be gathered at the end of the text in numerical order[1-5].
2.6.2. Authors
The use of the expression "et al." is required in the body of the paper when there are three or more authors for a reference cited by the authors’ names and reference number, but in the reference list all authors’ names should be given. The names of authors in the reference list should be provided in the form in which they appear in the cited work, with the surname, followed by initial of the middle and first name.
2.6.3. Title and date
As a general rule, authors should supply full titles for the respective references [1-5]. Titles of papers must be in all lower case, except for the first letters of the first word and for proper nouns. A description of the format for each type of reference is as follows:
(a) Journals In the order of the name(s) of author(s), Title of article. Abbreviated Journal Title. Year Month;volume number:pages [1, 2].
(b) Books In the order of the name(s) of the author(s), Book title: and subtitle. Place: Publisher; Year. Chapter number, Chapter title; pages [3].
(c) Reports In the order of the name(s) of the author(s), Report title. Place of issue (Country): publisher; year. Report.no**** (if applicable) [4].
(d) Proceedings In the order of the name(s) of the author(s), Title of paper. Paper presented at: Conference name;Year Month Day; Place [5]. When the proceeding is published with CD-ROM, “[CD-ROM]” should be added at the end [6].
2.6.4. Further information
JNST follows Taylor & Francis Standard Reference Style, which is based on the National Library of Medicine (NLM) reference style. For further information, you may refer to the samples from http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/pdf/JNST/Reference_Style.pdf or http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK7256/ for a complete guidance.
3. Conclusion
We hope this template will be helpful for the authors who are preparing a manuscript to be submitted to the Journal of Nuclear Science and Technology.
Nomenclature
