NUCLEAR ENGINEERING

The field of engineering that deals with the science and

application of nuclear and radiation processes.
These processes include the release, control, and utilization
of nuclear energy and the production and use of radiation and 
radioactive materials for applications in research, industry,
medicine, and national security.
 NUCLEAR ENGINEERS 

Research and develop the processes, instruments, and systems used to

derive benefits from nuclear energy and radiation. Many of
these engineers find industrial and medical uses for radioactive materials—
for example, in equipment used in medical diagnosis and treatment.
As a nuclear engineer you'll be designing, building, running or
decommissioning nuclear power stations. You'll work in multi-disciplinary
teams to come up with technical solutions.
 TYPES OF NUCLEAR ENGINEER

You can choose to specialize in just one part of the engineering field.
For example, some reactors are cooled using water systems, so you
could embark on a career as a specialist hydraulic engineer. chemical,
electrical and mechanical engineers can all find a place in the nuclear
industry.
Other specialties include:
-Health and Safety Specialist
-Instrumentation and Control Engineer
-Process Engineer
-Project Manager
-Quality Engineer
-Reactor Operator
 SALARY

Technicians within nuclear engineering may start on around £15,000 to

£20,000. You can also expect this pay if you start as an apprentice.
If you enter the profession as a graduate trainee, your starting salary is
likely to be between £20,000 and £28,000.
Experienced nuclear engineers can earn from £30,000 to £65,000. Some
earn more.
