Nuclear engineering is all about the production and application of nuclear energy and the uses of
radiation and radioactive materials. Most nuclear engineers design, construct and operate nuclear power
plants, which generate electric power. They take care of every stage in the production of nuclear energy –
from the processing of nuclear fuels to the disposal of radioactive waste from nuclear reactors. Nuclear
science is about studying atomic nuclei and exploiting their energy to serve humankind. It is used in food
irradiation, medicine (think cancer treatment), electricity production, space and the industry. A nuclear
scientist is a cross between a physicist and an engineer.
