Dear ashish,

Nuclear engineering encompasses all areas of the research, development, and application of nuclear energy. Nuclear energy is a prime source of energy in the world, and its wise utilization will produce many benefits. Unlike fossil fuels, nuclear power does not contribute to acid rain or greenhouse gases that produce global warming. The application of nuclear energy requires engineers with a broad educational background that covers specialized areas such as nuclear physics and radiation science as well as general areas of engineering useful in any energy field.

Nuclear engineers are involved in the design, construction, and operation of nuclear power plants for power generation, propulsion of nuclear submarines, and space power systems. Nuclear engineers are also involved in the handling of nuclear fuels, the safe disposal of radioactive wastes, and in medical uses of radioactive isotopes. Major thrust area of work is researching in nuclear energy and radiation. Specialization: It offers specialization in nuclear weapons, developing radioactive material for industrial and medical use etc.

We are all IITians and here to help you in your IIT JEE preparation.

All the best.
