Nuclear Engineers develop new ways to utilize the energy generated by splitting or combining atoms. Some work for the US military or defense contractors, creating the systems that power naval vessels and weaponry. Others find employment in health care and focus on creating new equipment for administering nuclear medicine to patients. In the energy sector, Nuclear Engineers design and improve nuclear reactors and nuclear power plant control systems and devise solutions for nuclear waste disposal. Some Nuclear Engineers also invent nuclear batteries and radiation shielding for satellites, spacecraft and space rovers.
