Hash Hashemian: Visionary leadership
As Dr. Hashem M. “Hash” Hashemian prepares to step into his term as President of the American Nuclear Society, he is clear that he wants to make the most of this unique moment.
A groundswell in public approval of nuclear is finding a home in growing governmental support that is backed by a tailwind of technological innovation. “Now is a good time to be in nuclear,” Hashemian said, as he explained the criticality of this moment and what he hoped to accomplish as president.
Workshop
Thursday, April 13, 2023|8:30–11:30AM EDT|Hiwassee
This event is presented by the IAEA.
Hosted by MIT and Argonne National Laboratory
A central problem in nuclear engineering is the simulation of the transit of neutron and photon radiation through devices. Several programs have been written over the past few decades to solve this problem in a generalized fashion via the Monte Carlo method, but only one is not centralized and allows anyone to hack the code and distribute it to others: OpenMC.
For this reason, OpenMC is excellent for students. We'll give an overview of getting OpenMC running on your computer, creating input to the program, and analyzing the results. Particularly, we'll look at a reactor criticality problem and a photon shielding problem, and how OpenMC's python interface enables streamlined analysis compared to older Monte Carlo codes.
