Nuclear Engineers Nuclear Engineers Nuclear engineers do research on nuclear power and radiation. Nuclear engineers plan, design, develop, and monitor nuclear power plants. Nuclear energy can cause environmental problems.
Nuclear engineers study the hazards created by nuclear systems.
They uncover problems and use scientific skill to solve them. They plan and conduct nuclear research to develop new uses for radioactive processes. They monitor the testing, operation, and maintenance of nuclear reactors. They develop safe disposal methods for nuclear waste products. They must also prepare technical reports.
