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 solutions to the one-dimensional energy-dependent Boltzmann equations for two different media are shown to possess such a full-range completeness property that an arbitrary function satisfying a Hölder condition can be expanded in terms containing solutions to both equations. These solutions are given by Leonard and Ferziger. This property makes it possible to solve energy-dependent neutron transport problems for two adjacent media. In comparison with half-space problems, one must solve two more inhomogeneous Fredholm integral equations. The scheme of the extension to multilayer system is also represented. In using the multigroup method, the series solutions of the Fredholm equations are rapidly convergent, if the energy dependences of the total cross sections in both adjacent media are roughly of the same form.
