How does a former software engineer get into nuclear tech? What specific skills and positions would be required?

Well, there are engineers needed to develop new CAD / sim software to better model liquid nuclear fuels. That basically would require you to have a very good understanding of software engineering + fluid mechanics, nuclear physics, thermodynamics and chemistry
Thank you. I'm part-time studying applied maths to be able to work on something like that one day.
Great! Feel free to update me in the future :)
