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 fusion neutronics benchmark experiment on vanadium-alloy was conducted. Various nuclear quantities related to both neutrons and gamma-rays were measured. It was found through benchmark analyses that all the cross section data of mainly vanadium in recent nuclear data files still involved serious problems. Improvement of these data is strongly required. According to discussion on neutron KERMA factors, the major finding was that neutron KERMA factors based on ENDF/B-VI above 10 MeV were too large due to the larger 51V(n,n'p)50Ti cross section.
