nuclear (redirected from nuclear medicine technologist)

nu·cle·ar  (nkl-r, ny-)

adj.

1. Biology Of, relating to, or forming a nucleus: a nuclear membrane.

2. Physics Of or relating to atomic nuclei: a nuclear chain reaction.

3. Using or derived from the energy of atomic nuclei: nuclear power.

4. Of, using, or possessing atomic or hydrogen bombs: nuclear war; nuclear nations.

[From nucleus.]

Usage Note: The pronunciation (nky-lr), which is generally considered incorrect, is an example of how a familiar phonological pattern can influence an unfamiliar one. The usual pronunciation of the final two syllables of this word is (-kl-r), but this sequence of sounds is rare in English. Much more common is the similar sequence (-ky-lr), which occurs in words like particular, circular, spectacular, and in many scientific words like molecular, ocular, and vascular.
