The difference between a nuclear physicist and nuclear chemist is...what?
fatra2 said:Nuclear physicist are much, much, much, much better people
Raghnar said:oh thank you
I don't have idea of what a nuclear chemist does... :D
A nuclear physicist studies the physical properties and behavior of atomic nuclei, while a nuclear chemist focuses on the chemical reactions and processes involving atomic nuclei.
Yes, they often collaborate on research projects that involve both the physical and chemical aspects of nuclear reactions and materials.
Both professions typically require a Ph.D. in their respective fields, as well as a strong background in physics and chemistry.
Nuclear physicists and nuclear chemists can work in a variety of industries, including nuclear power, national laboratories, and research universities. They may also work in fields such as nuclear medicine, materials science, and environmental science.
Some common research topics for nuclear physicists include nuclear fission and fusion, nuclear reactor design, and nuclear astrophysics. Nuclear chemists may research topics such as radiochemistry, nuclear waste management, and nuclear forensics.
