Career In Nuclear physics

The Discipline which deals with the structure of the atomic nucleus. Nuclear physics includes the fission and fusion reactions which provide nuclear power. Other than Nuclear Power and Nuclear Weapons the field has wide range of applications in Nuclear Medicine, in Material Engineering for Ion implementation, and in archaeology for radiocarbon dating. Nuclear analytical techniques were used in laboratories to analyze samples which are of mining, geological, and archaeological sectors.

• The discovery of electron was the first step in the progress of Nuclear Physics. It explains evolution of the universe and years after the "big bang". It also explains how stars continually work to release useful energy in the world. Thus today there are many nuclear physicists working in the area of astrophysics.
• Principal research of nuclear physics is a high-energy beam of particles, such as protons or electrons, directed as projectiles against nuclear targets and production of heavy elements.
• Nuclear physicists has wide range of opportunities in medical field as Nuclear Medicine Radiologist,Nuclear Pharmacist,Nuclear Medicine Physicist,and Nuclear Medicine Technologist.

Nuclear physics can be studied in higher studies after completing Bachelors in Physics who may work at a nuclear power plant or other type of company but more likely at a University. Another Possibility is Completing Engineering degree as Nuclear Engineer who can work at Nuclear Power plant.
