Designers of nuclear energy plants need to have a good grounding in engineering generally. The reactor technology is biased towards mechanical engineering, use of materials, stress analysis, thermodynamics, fluid flow. There is the nuclear physics aspect, calculating required fuel loadings and behavior over time. The control and instrumentation aspects are also vital. For the rest of the plant there is plenty of scope for electrical and mechanical engineers, and civil engineers, to use their knowledge. So it takes a wide range of skills to manage a nuclear project.
