Interview With A Nuclear Engineer

Click For Summary
A high school sophomore seeks assistance for a year-long engineering project that requires interviewing a nuclear engineer. The student expresses uncertainty about the appropriateness of the forum category for this request. However, the forum moderators clarify that interview threads are no longer permitted due to privacy and anti-phishing policies. Consequently, the thread is locked, preventing further discussion. The student is advised to seek alternative methods for conducting their interviews.

I am a high school sophomore, and a year-long project for my engineering class involves a series of five or six interview questions with a nuclear engineer. I don't know if this is in the right category, but please reply if you can help. The file is attached to prove my point.

Welcome to the PF.

Sorry, but for privacy and anti-phishing reasons, we no longer allow interview threads here on the PF.

What type of energy is actually stored inside an atom? When an atom is split—such as in a nuclear explosion—it releases enormous energy, much of it in the form of gamma-ray electromagnetic radiation. Given this, is it correct to say that the energy stored in the atom is fundamentally electromagnetic (EM) energy? If not, how should we properly understand the nature of the energy that binds the nucleus and is released during fission?
