What is difference beween meson theory and yukawa theory of nuclear forces?

there is no difference b/w meson theory an yukawa theory of nuclear forces because yukawa predicted the nuclear forces as exchange of boson(messons) b/w neutron and proton which keep them bind in an atomic nuclei. so meson theory is just another name of yukawa's theory of nuclear forces.

What is the GUT theory?

The GUT theory is a theory that combines three of the four fundamental forces together. The three fundamental forces are the strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force, and electromagnetic force. This theory explains the connection between these forces and if gravity was able to connect with these forces, then we have the TOE (Theory of Everything).


What education is required to be a nuclear reactor developer?

Depends on how do you want it. If you want to advance the theory behind all the engineering, a Ph.D in nuclear physics is a must; better if you're a professor. If you want to write projects based on theories you learn from above specialists, you must have a Ph.D in nuclear engineering and architecture, as well as hydrophysics and mechanics of materials degrees.
