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 mathematical model is derived for correlated neutron signal multiplets. These multiplets are expressed as functions of the spontaneous fission rate, of the neutron detection probability, of the probability that a neutron generates a fast fission, and of nuclear data expressing fission neutron emission probabilities. For the moments of the correlated multiplets, simple analytical expressions are obtained with the assumption of an exponential detector response function. These moments permit multiparameter determination.
