Question

Where are some places that a nuclear physicist might work besides a college that pay well?

Answer 1

First, broaden you perspective to include other related areas of physics like high energy and plasma physics (unless you actually know what you're talking about when you say "nuclear physics"). There is a lot of nuclear physics (study of atomic nucleus) yet to be done, but it's mostly engineering these days and physicists have moved on to more esoteric things.
