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.

Experimental data of 54Fe(n, 2n) cross sections below 20 MeV were analyzed and evaluated with corrections and normalization. The data were processed in terms of a fitting by a spline code with the consideration of correlation errors. Also, the corresponding covariance matrices of the experimental data were constructed with the information on experimental errors and correlation errors.
