Reply to comment by Sabeo_FF in A medical isotope made from nuclear weapons waste (Tc-99m) has a six-hour half-life. How do hospitals keep it in stock? by Gwaiian

It's an application area if you graduate with a Phd in nuclear physics. I worked with several physicists when I was in medical imaging. They dealt with dosimetry in radiation therapy.

I wish they would talk more about potential jobs for different areas of college studies. I always thought for nuclear physics you just work at some power plant.
