3 Nuclear physics
Nuclear physics is a very wide field. It is also essential to the entire fuel cycle, from reactor design, to final disposal. Nuclear physics is a important to detector design as well. We don’t need to be nuclear physicists, however, to be nuclear engineers. We need to know how to apply these concepts.
