2. Introduction
Nuclear engineering is the branch of engineering concerned
with the application of the breakdown as well as
the fusion of atomic nuclei and/or the application of other
sub-atomic physics, based on the principles of nuclear
physics. In the sub-field of nuclear fission, it particularly
includes the interaction and maintenance of systems and
components like nuclear reactors, nuclear power plants,
and/or nuclear weapons. The field also includes the study
of medical and other applications of
(generally ionizing) radiation, nuclear
safety, heat/thermodynamics transport, nuclear fuel and/or
other related technology (e.g., radioactive waste disposal),
and the problems of nuclear proliferation.
