Key Words: List a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 6 key words, inboldface
1. Introduction
This guide provides the instructions needed to befollowed in the preparation of a manuscript for inclusionin the proceeding of the Asian Reactor Physics
Conference 2015 or RPHA15. The instructions define theformats and styles of various constituents of themanuscript. This file itself serves as the template forMicrosoft Word that contains the predefined styles suchas Body, Equation, Heading1st, and Reference. It is
recommended to use these predefined styles.
All material, including the text and illustrations, musthave marginal spaces of 2.5cm at the top and bottom, and

flushed to the first tab as:g 1gwhereEg1(E)(E)dE ,

quotation marks. The title can be omitted. The name ofthe source of the reference is italicized and the volume
number is boldfaced. Put the year of the document within
the parenthesis at the end. For different types ofdocuments, observe the following styles which are takenfrom the reference rules for the ANS transaction papersexcept for the author name style.

 For a report: author(s), report title (initial capitalletters, set off by quotation marks), report number,publisher of report (organization), year (inparentheses).
 For a book: author(s) (all capital letters), book title(initial capital letters, italic type), page or chapter
numbers, publisher, publisher’s city, year (inparentheses).
