<p>if ur actually interested in physics behind nuclear stuff, just do particle type physics.
nuclear engr is more the engineering side of things (as most people have said, reactor design stuff)</p>
<p>something ive noticed is that most engineering majors is more focus towards the engineering and less and less towards the prefixes (nuclear, chemical).
nuclear medicine seems more like a chemical field for example.</p>
<p>if you are passionate about nuclear engr type topics, major in that. if you want the biggest safety net, by a physics major.</p>
