Specialization: radiation shielding and reactor materials

[stann999]

Is specialization in radiation shielding and reactor/reactant materials a valid area of specialization? I am just worried if the two areas are too broad or different to name as my area of specialization. I ask this because I am trying to answer my applications for area of specialization and I want to make sure I am writing about a valid specialization.

Radiation shielding is usually done within the field of Health Physics. I suspect reacting materials, by which I'm assuming you're talking about the processing of uranium etc., would be Nuclear Physics or even Materials Science/Engineering.

Ok thanks. So I should write my specialization as nuclear physics then go into the details about reactor materials and so on.
