Hey guys,

I have always been interested in studying the atom! Ever since I heard about nuclear fission and fusion and even particle collisions, I have been wanting to learn more about this!

I have always considered becoming a nuclear physicist and I have lately heard that you can become an nuclear engineer!

Now one thing is that I'm pretty sure that nowhere in Australia offers that since we have no nuclear reactors (apart from lucas heights).

In university physics this semester we look at a bit of nuclear physics (can't wait) and get to work with radioactive substances in the lab.

My question is how many of you guys are interested in something like nuclear physics or becoming a nuclear engineer?
