Additionally, nuclear engineering training is suitable~~~-for work in fields beyond reactor engineering, such as applied physics, accelerator physics and engineering, radiation physics, nuclear medicine, and fusion. Given the nuclear engineering enrollment trends, what will happen to fields that require nuclear engineers in the future?

SCOPE AND TASKS OF THE STUDY To address these issues about the decline of nuclear engineering education and its national implications, the committee undertook several tasks (see Appendix A for the complete statement of task) : o Characterizing the status of nuclear engineering education in the United States o Estimating the supply and demand for undergraduate and graduate nuclear engineers in the United States over the near- to mid-term (5 to 20 years)
