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 method for solving various infinite medium and half-space multigroup transport problems with anisotropic transfer is presented. A set of eigensolutions for the homogeneous multigroup equations is obtained and is shown to have “full-range” completeness and orthogonality properties. These properties then can be used to solve for the infinite medium Green's function. Half-space problems are solved in two distinct steps. First, the emergent distribution is calculated. Then, application of the full-range completeness property gives the complete solution everywhere in the half-space. The success of this method implies that the eigensolutions also possess a “half-range” completeness property.
