Nuclear Engineering

We design and support the nuclear reactor cores that power some of the world’s most advanced submarines, while also playing a major role in developing new civil reactors.

There are three types of nuclear engineers at Rolls-Royce:

  • Health Physics Engineers ensure the radiological safety of production and support activities
  • Radiation Physics and Shielding Engineers design and develop radioactive shielding
  • Reactor Physics Engineers design new reactor cores to meet the country’s needs well into the latter part of the 21st century

Whichever one you choose, you’ll be at the forefront of technology, providing support to all in-service reactors.
