Nuclear engineering is the practical application of atomic nuclei treated by the principles of Chemistry and Nuclear Physics and the interaction between radiation and matter. This field of engineering includes the design, analysis, development, testing, operation and maintenance of the systems and components of nuclear fission, specifically nuclear reactors, power plants producing electricity through nuclear energy transformation and nuclear weapons. This engineering field may also include nuclear safety, licensing facilities, heat and mass transport (thermohydraulics), nuclear fuels technology, nuclear proliferation, nuclear chemistry, radioactive waste management and radioactive environments.
