It contains a model nuclear reactor. It used to be double this price.
its expensive to dispose of the waste and the initial machinery is expensive to build.
Extracting energy from nuclear fuels is more expensive than extracting energy from fossil fuels.
Nuclear Weapons Engineering - requires a Top Secret-Q clearance to even study it.
Everything an ordinary bomb or warhead would contain plus special nuclear materials. The important thing though is the arrangement of the various materials.
extracting energy from nuclear fuels is more expensive than extracting energy from fossil fuels
Building a nuclear plant is expensive because of the very high quality engineering involved and the complicated safety systems. However once built the fuel costs are less than for coal or natural gas.
Piping materials for Nuclear Power Plants, sometimes abbreviated NPP, are chosen based on many factors, including durability. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Committee also publishes information, aiding NPP in their choice.
Some high-paying jobs in engineering are chemical engineer, aerospace engineer, materials engineer, petroleum drilling engineer, and nuclear engineer.

The principal responsibility of a Nuclear Engineer is to apply a use of engineering concepts and knowledge of nuclear science to engineering problems. Nuclear engineering is a large and diverse field that can be broken into groups of engineers that work in the development and use of nuclear energy, radioactive materials, and on-site solutions. Nuclear engineers that choose to work in the field of nuclear energy can specialize into a few different categories. The major areas are in the design of machines or facilities that will either harness or produce nuclear energy, and those who specialize in the development of products that will mitigate the damage of, or dispose of, unwanted nuclear materials. Nuclear engineers that work with radioactive materials are often involved in the research and development of products that are used in a variety of applications in medicine, science, industry, and agriculture. The last category of engineers is the individuals who work in on-site environments. They often serve as consultants in the construction of facilities that are to be involved in the production or use of nuclear energies. The minimum requirements to become a Nuclear Engineer are to earn a bachelor’s degree in nuclear engineering, some of the other engineering specialties can qualify but there is much less cross over than in other fields. A graduate degree in nuclear engineering is essential for any research positions but is not necessary to enter the general workforce. It is highly advisable for students to secure an internship during college to gain highly valuable work experience. The employment opportunities in nuclear engineering are expected to be slightly favorable. According to www.bls.gov there is expected to be 11% job growth but a low number of graduates with degrees in nuclear engineering to fill the positions. Nuclear engineers are one of the best paid engineering specialties; entry level positions in the field typically pay from $55,000 to $60,000. Earnings vary by location but the average yearly salary for a nuclear engineer is currently from $90,000 to $95,000.
Dr. Carlito Aleta was the former director and is the current consultant of the Philippine Nuclear Research Institute. His main contribution towards chemistry and science is his research into nuclear engineering. With a BSc in Chemical Engineering from the Central Colleges of the Philippines, Aleta has had a big influence on the studies of his subject. Nuclear engineering is an area of engineering that is based around the application of the breakdown, or fission, as well as the application of other sub-atomic physics and the fusion of atomic nuclei. Its studies are based on the principles of nuclear physics. Within the sub-field of nuclear fission, nuclear engineering focuses on the maintenance and interaction of systems and components. These may include nuclear power plants, nuclear weapons and nuclear reactors. The field of nuclear engineering also includes studies of medical and other applications of nuclear safety, radiation, nuclear fuel, heat and thermodynamics transport, other related technology (radioactive waste disposal) and the problems of nuclear proliferation. The nuclear branch of engineering is often broken down into four main professional areas. These areas are nuclear fission, nuclear medicine and medical physics, nuclear materials and nuclear fuel, and radiation measurements and dosimetry. Nuclear fission studies deal with the disintegration of an atom's nucleus into two separate, smaller elements. Common types include thermal fission, fast fission and spontaneous fission. Within medical physics there are a number of ways nuclear engineering plays an important role. Nuclear medicine, radiation therapy and x-ray machines are all closely related to the subject. Nuclear materials and nuclear fuels are used to obtain an increased efficiency and safety in nuclear plants. Nuclear engineers are keen to develop the radiation measurements that are available to improve imaging technologies. Dr. Carlito Aleta is part of the ever developing and experimenting branch of engineering that is nuclear engineering. His contributions are important for the understanding of the topic.

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.
