If you want to research you should start reading the specific literature.zheng89120 said:title

If so, here.NUCENG said:Hope you don't mean me. I know the theory but have no direct experience with breeders. And from my understanding the ones that have been built have not been all that successful. There do seem to be a lot of resources online so start there.
Nuclear Engineering is an engineering discipline that focuses on the practical applications and design of nuclear systems, while Nuclear Physics is a branch of physics that studies the fundamental properties and behavior of atomic and subatomic particles.
If you want to research breeder reactors, it would be best to go for Nuclear Engineering. This field is more closely related to the design, construction, and operation of nuclear reactors, including breeder reactors.
Yes, it is possible for someone with a background in Nuclear Physics to research breeder reactors. However, they may need to acquire additional knowledge and skills in Nuclear Engineering to fully understand the engineering aspects of breeder reactors.
Yes, there are some similarities between the two fields. Both Nuclear Engineering and Nuclear Physics deal with the behavior and properties of nuclear materials and may use similar mathematical and computational methods in their research.
Yes, it is possible to switch from Nuclear Physics to Nuclear Engineering if you are interested in researching breeder reactors. However, you may need to take additional courses or obtain a higher degree in Nuclear Engineering to gain the necessary knowledge and skills for this specific area of research.
