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 short description of the reactor dynamics program KINE is given. The KINE code is a one-dimensional code solving the time-dependent neutron diffusion equations in a two-group representation, taking into account six groups of delayed neutron precursors, one heating channel composed of fuel, canning, and a coolant region in which boiling may occur. Special attention is given to radial averaging of coolant density and fuel temperature in a core in which partial boiling can exist. The method of solution is a modified backward extrapolation procedure. Stationary starting conditions are achieved by adjustment of control rod position or liquid poison concentration.
