Nuclear EngineeringNuclear engineers apply their knowledge of physics, engineering and advanced computational methods to design a broad range of engineered systems involving neutrons, plasmas, and sub-atomic particles. These applications include nuclear power plants, fuels and components; nuclear propulsion systems for Navy submarines and aircraft carriers; space propulsion systems and power sources for interplanetary exploration; nuclear instruments for industry and research; plasma processing equipment for semiconductors and advanced materials; and radioisotopes, diagnostic equipment, and cancer treatment procedures used in medicine. |
