Pursuing A Career As A Nuclear Engineer

Reactor operators control the chain reaction created by nuclear fission to regulate the amount of heat generated and energy produced.

There are no engineers in my family to persuade me into becoming one. It was my own interest and curiosity that drove me into analyzing how things work. Over the years I have developed a passion for solving complex problems that involve technical challenges. I have learnt that an engineering problem does not have a standard solution to it and that an engineer has to choose the best from amongst the various options. The process of applying scientific methods to solve real-life problems continued to intrigue me throughout my years of study, initially in the context of my own behavior, and later to observe and investigate its impact on an increasing affinity towards Engineering.

Nuclear energy is the world's largest source of emission-free energy. Nuclear power plants produce no controlled air pollutants, such as sulfur and particulates, or greenhouse gases. "Renewables" like solar, wind and biomass can help. But only nuclear power offers clean, environmentally friendly energy on a massive scale. The use of nuclear energy in place of other energy sources helps to keep the air clean, preserve the Earth's climate, avoid ground-level ozone formation and prevent acid rain. “Currently, there are 103 commercial nuclear power plants producing electricity in the United States, located at 64 sites in 31 states. They are, on average, 24 years old, and

It's important to me that I study and work with something that's real, rather than subjective. When I first started to look at career paths, I found that my biggest concern was making sure that I will be able to make an impact on the world that I can feel proud of. Engineering is the field that most appeals to me in that I would be creating or refining real, tangible things, and that those things would have real, positive effects on people's lives. I know that engineering is a great opportunity to work with others and combine my strengths with other engineers, as well as people from various other

When someone thinks of problems plaguing the world, nuclear energy is not the first thing that comes to peoples minds these days.[1]Nuclear power was once deemed the new energy of the future.[2]However, numerous nuclear power plant accidents around the world put a damper on that notion.The United States considers itself one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world, but 103 nuclear reactors currently operating within her borders, one was bound to fail sometime or another.[3]

　　　　In the recent years, nuclear energy has gotten a comprehensive development. There are over 430 commercial nuclear power reactors operable in 31 countries, with over 370,000 MWe of total capacity. About 70 more reactors are under construction, and these numbers are still rising up (World Nuclear

Nuclear power plants are a safe, clean and reliable source of energy production. They are uniquely qualified to meet the growing demand for energy in the USA.

I constantly daydream about my future career and what I could expect with it, but sometimes I don’t realize that I wont know much about the job until I actually try it out. As my research on the SECME sponsors and my own personal experiences have shown, engineering extends beyond the lab. It's not hard to see how my future career can have profound effects on the lives of many others. For example, I could one day use new technology developed by engineers to make the process of saving someone’s life a lot easier and have better survival odds. Or possibly someday we could use robotic technology to help people walk again. Although I would not be making this new kind of technology myself, it would be amazing if I could use it to change someone’s life. It's mind-blowing how far a career in STEM can take me and others who are willing to pursue these kinds of

If you were to ask me what a nuclear equipment operation technician does, I probably couldn't give you a stutter-free answer but the first thing I would think of would be the movie The Hills Have Eyes. If you haven’t seen it, you’re clearly missing out. It's basically about a group of bloodthirsty mutants who live in a barren atomic zone and eat people; perhaps it's not your cup of tea but its one for the books. My dads cousins friends friend it's a nuclear equipment operation technician. I don't know his name so I will name him Bob. Apparently he’s paid around $70,000 a year, which isn’t much if you need to use a whole heap of brainpower. They basically operate equipment used for the release and usage of nuclear energy to aid in scientist’s

Nuclear power provided 11 percent of the world 's electricity production in 2014. In 2016, 13 countries relied on nuclear energy to supply at least one-quarter of their total electricity.

1I manipulate millions of people with the power that I help create and I also control the fate of all the land a people in a one hundred mile radius. Who am I? 2I am a nuclear engineer. 3-4I will be a nuclear engineer because of the money I will make, the lives I can make an impact on, and I will work with some of the most powerfull stuff we have discovered her on Earth. 5If you have a different job in mind that you really want to do then don’t read this paper for you just might change your mind and if I don’t then don’t even try to persuade me to do something else, for I shall be a nuclear engineer.

With the development of nuclear industries there will be jobs created in various fields like

Nuclear technology can make deep space exploration possible while making daily life on Earth more comfortable and safer. Nuclear power has minimal threats to our natural environment, and nuclear science can detect and cure many diseases. Seeing all the possibilities related to nuclear engineering, I am easily drawn into this field.

As a result, numerous countries are creating more nuclear power plants. From the 1990s, the rate of nuclear power plants constructed increased because of technological and managerial, deregulation, and safety improvements.

Finding out how and why things work and discovering how products are made has always my passion. I regularly watch engineering and science shows on the television. From my childhood, I have always been a very curious person who would not believe just because someone told me, but I had to know the reason behind it. Science always fascinated me, and I always wondered how we remained on the ground and never fell off something that is spherical. In school I was more interested in maths and science rather than History or Arts and this made me choose Chemistry, maths and physics as my Higher subjects. This has helped me appreciate how Science has been utilised to improve man’s life and make it easier. It is because of this that I would like to
