Solve in positive integers $\sqrt{n+1982^n}+\sqrt n=(\sqrt{1983}+1)^k$
Let $$\mathcal K = \{a+b\sqrt{1983},\quad a,b\in\mathcal Z,\quad b\not=0\},$$ then $$RHS, LHS, LHS^2 \in\mathcal K,$$ $$2\sqrt{n(n+1982^n)}\in\mathcal K,$$ $$n(n+1982^n) = 1983 m^2.\qquad(1)$$
Let us consider the next cases.
If $n=1$ then $(1)$ and OP are satisfied for $k=1.$
If $n=2$ then $(1)$ can not be satisfied for any $m.$
If $n=2i+1\ge3,$ then one can get contradict after
$$n\equiv1\pmod2,\quad m\equiv1\pmod2,$$
$$\quad n^2\equiv3m^2\pmod4.$$
If $$n=2i\ge4,\quad\max_d\ 2^d\, |\, n = p,$$
then
$$\max_d\ 2^d\, |\, m = p,\quad \frac n {2^p}\equiv\frac n {2^p}\equiv1\pmod2,\quad n\ge p+2,$$
and one get contradict after
$$\frac n {2^p}\left(\frac n {2^p}+1982^{n-p}\right) = 1983\frac m {2^p},$$
$$\quad \left(\frac n {2^p}\right)^2\equiv3\left(\frac m {2^p}\right)^2\pmod4.$$
So OP equality has the only solution
$$n=1,\quad k=1.$$
