Nuclear Chemistry — Test

Question 35 • Physical Science

Which is a difference between the focus of a nuclear engineer and the job of a nuclear chemist?

Answer

Nuclear chemists are concerned with the design, construction, and operation of nuclear reactors; nuclear engineers study nuclear reactions, radioactive elements, and nuclear power.

Nuclear engineers are concerned with the production and use of radioactive sources; nuclear chemists study the absorption of radiation.

Nuclear chemists are concerned with the production and use of radioactive sources; nuclear engineers study the absorption of radiation.

Nuclear engineers are concerned with the design, construction, and operation of nuclear reactors; nuclear chemists study nuclear reactions, radioactive elements, and nuclear power.

Explanation

Nuclear engineers focus on designing, constructing, and operating nuclear reactors. Nuclear chemists study nuclear reactions and radioactive elements, including their applications in nuclear power. Choice D correctly matches each field with its focus; choice A reverses them.
