Is Nuclear Engineering the Future of Sustainable Energy?

[SOLVED] My newest major :)..

Nuclear Engineering at Univ. of Florida

"Students are involved in development and use of advanced particle transport methods, multigroup cross-section generation techniques, reactor physics and perturbation methods, thermal hydraulics, nondestructive testing techniques and tools, advanced fuel design, robotics, radiation shielding and protection, simulation methodologies for real-life nuclear systems including reactors, medical devices, and radiation facilities.

Congrats !

I heard there are only a few hundred nuclear engeneers
graduating in the US every year while the demand is for a few
phousand. Hope that's right and you'll have no problem finding
a job.

I heard that nuclear engineering majors basically ended up being high-tech plumbers.

The reaction chambers are sealed once they're put into place. All the engineers do is monitor the coolant water.

150k a year for being a plumber is fine with me.. on top of that if you read any of what i wrote at the top, robotics is included.. you can do a lot of stuff with skills like that..

Oop. Where are my manners?

Congrats!

I was just parrotting what I heard.
