The main purpose of my work is knowledge, to answer questions we have about how the world works. Directly from this work our knowledge of nuclear physics improves, and this the leads to improvements of other things. Things like make better radioactive medicines and radiation detectors which are used in the treatment of cancer, and better understanding of nuclear waste which can lead to better nuclear power.
