<p>At my school we earn an ME degree with a nuclear minor or emphasis. I applied for 2 co-ops and received offers for both if that is any help. I am currently working at a nuclear power plant as a co-op (summer through December) and have 2 semesters left of school for a little background. As far as I have heard from meeting with several people in the nuclear industry ranging from engineer to vice president, there is a giant demand because most of their nuclear engineers will all retire in the next 5-10 years.</p>
