Nuclear engineering is the branch of engineering concerned with the application of the breakdown (fission). In the sub-field of nuclear fission, it includes the interaction and maintenance of systems and components like nuclear reactions, nuclear power plants (as shown above), and nuclear weapons. In addition nuclear engineering includes the study of medical and other applications of (general ionizing) radiation, nuclear safety, heat/thermodynamics transport, nuclear fuel, radioactive waste, and problems of nuclear proliferation.
Nuclear Engineering is a very interesting material and it can help us in our daily life. Even though its very dangerous to work there you may be getting about $50,000-$90,000 per year. As a beginner the worker is winning the average a medium class family in the American economy. Experienced you may be getting as much as $90,000 per year. The experienced worker could get about $50 an hour. Its a great career from the hundreds of careers out there.
