Hello,
I was just wondering if anybody could give me any ideas about a possible direction in a Physics issues investigation. I am looking at choosing one around nuclear energy and the issues of radiation. Any help or interesting sugestions of avenues in nuclear physics, and or possibe guiding questions would help.
Thanks Dylan.
