hello aspirant,

I hope that you are doing absolutely great,

With reference to your above mentioned query, I would like to tell you that YES, you can definitely do your master's with Nuclear engineering after completing BE from mechanical Engineering.

Mechanical engineers work in nearly every area of science and technology : from aerospace and automotive to nuclear and nanotechnology.Nuclear engineering is a branch of engineering which includes topics and theories from both electrical engineering and chemical engineering .  It deals with combing and breaking down of nuclei. The energy released from this is used to convert water to steam, which is later used to run a turbine. This manages to generate electricity. Nuclear engineering deals with the study of thermodynamics, radiation, nuclear safety and fuel and so on.
