Nuclear engineers are those engineers who deal with the branch of engineering concerned with the application of the breakdown of atomic nuclei and/or other sub-atomic physics, based on the principles of nuclear reactor physics and nuclear heat transport. Nuclear engineering includes the interaction and maintenance of nuclear fission systems and components- specifically, nuclear reactors, nuclear power plants, and/or nuclear weapons, the study of nuclear fusion, medical and other applications of ionizing radiation, radiation safety, heat/thermodynamics transport, nuclear fuel and/or other related (e.g., waste disposal) technology, nuclear proliferation, and radioactive waste management.
