Nuclear Engineering

I have an interest in nuclear engineering because nuclear fusion is the most powerful energy source known to man. Nuclear engineers may work to create a way that we can power our homes with nuclear energy safely and efficiently. This may help with pollution and eliminate greenhouse gases to a minimum. We may also be able to power spacecraft with it and may be able to travel farther into space.
