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.

A mock-up of the inboard shield and vacuum vessel of ITER was set up at ENEA Frascati and irradiated with 14-MeV neutrons produced by the Frascati Neutron Generator. The mock-up includes the coil region, and its dimensions and materials composition are consistent with the latest ITER design. The objective of the experiment is to validate the calculations of nuclear heating in the ITER toroidal field coil performed with the Monte Carlo code MCNP-5 and the FENDL-2.1 library, through measurement performed by thermoluminescent dosimeters. The goal was to reach a calculated-to-experiment accuracy of less than or equal to ±10%, possibly as low as ±8%.
