What it is
What they do
Nuclear engineering is the branch of
Nuclear engineers research and develop the
engineering concerned with the
processes, instruments, and systems used to
application of the breakdown as well as
derive benefits from nuclear energy and
the fusion of atomic nuclei and/or the
radiation. Many of these engineers find
application of other sub-atomic physics,
industrial and medical uses for radioactive
based on the principles of nuclear physics.
