My Name is Nikunj Vaghela, My Interest is in Nuclear Engineering, shall I go for it?

Dear Nikunj, Nuclear Engineering is an interesting field and has a very bright career for individuals who are enthusiastic. Nuclear engineering is not only limited to nuclear weapons, but also very essential for nuclear power plants, nuclear reactors and related stuff. It is a sub-division of the vast engineering field that involves acquiring knowledge about the breaking down of atomic nuclei or other sub-atomic physics that is based on the principles of nuclear physics. In order to become a Nuclear Engineer or Nuclear Scientist, you need to pursue your graduation and Masters in Physics. Below are the list of good institutes you can consider for your study Homi Bhabha National Institute, Mumbai IIT, Kanpur JNTU, Kakinada Delhi University Manipal Institute of Technology For the list of more institutes, refer to the below link <a href="https://engineering.shiksha.com/bsc-physics-in-india-categorypage-2-64-645-0-0-1-1-2-0-none-1-0#cateSearchBlock" style='word-wrap:break-word;'>https://engineering.shiksha.com/bsc-physics-in-india-categorypage-2-64-645-0-0-1-1-2-0-none-1-0#cateSearchBlock</a> (In the above link, you can refine the search as per your city preference) After successfully becoming a Nuclear Engineer, one may need to perform the following functions: • Development and maintenance of nuclear imaging technology used for diagnosing and treating medical problems. • To develop power sources for spacecrafts that are using radioactive materials in the field of science, medicine and agriculture • For designing, operating, monitoring and developing of new nuclear devices that can be used for generation of nuclear power • For assistance in the processing of nuclear fuels and disposal of radioactive waste materials Hope this helps. Thanks All The Best.!

There is a good scope for this new career option.People who want to design rockets and cars become mechanical engineers. People who want to design great buildings and bridges become civl engineers. However, these things all overlap. Companies who design nuclear power plants hire nuke engineers and material scientists to design core materials, mechanical engineers to design the fluid and power systems, chemical engineers for purification systems, civils for structures, electrical engineers for power systems and instrumentation, and so on. At your age I think you have time to decide and you can always change your mind.
