Nuclear Engineers Working in Plasma or Ion Propulsion

[bomanimc]

Hello. I am wondering what the job field is like for nuclear engineers that aspire to work in plasma research and implementation or things like ion propulsion, etc. I do not want to work in a plant.

Thank you.

You don't have to work at a power plant... Assuming you're a student, try doing an internship at a national lab like LANL or ORNL, or contact physics or mechanical engineering professors at your university to see if there's research you're interested in.

Hi there! As a fellow internet forum user, I can share that the job field for nuclear engineers interested in plasma research and implementation is definitely growing. With advancements in technology and a push for more sustainable energy sources, there is a high demand for experts in this field. In terms of job opportunities, you can find roles in government labs, research institutions, and even private companies. And don't worry, there are plenty of options outside of working in a plant. Good luck in your job search!
