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.

The in-scattering sources in the group-Legendre expansion of the Boltzmann equation can be classified by four-index sources, four-index cross sections, or four-index kernels, depending on the type of multigroup approximation used. These four-index transfer elements are related to basic cross-section data through a general four-way logic which applies to narrow and wide groups alike, to heavy and light scatterers alike, and to elastic and single-level inelastic scattering alike. As an application of the logic, the effect of inelastic energy-angle correlation on the calculation of some reactor parameters is demonstrated.
