a branch of physics that studies the structure of the atomic nucleus, the processes of radioactive decay, and the mechanism of nuclear reactions. The meaning of the term is frequently expanded to include the physics of elementary particles as well. Sometimes areas of research that have become independent branches of technology, such as accelerator technology and nuclear power industry, continue to be considered as branches of nuclear physics.
What is nuclear science? Nuclear science is the study of the atomic world. In nuclear science, the word 'nuclear' means 'of or relating to or constituting the nucleus of an atom'. Atoms are the fundamental constituents of everything around us, and we ourselves are entirely composed of them. Nuclear science is crucial to understanding our universe, our world and ourselves at the atomic level. If we can understand how atoms get together, interact, or can be best combined with other atoms, new, more efficient materials and drugs can be developed. ANSTO and nuclear science
