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.

Recommended values for delayed-neutron data of principal interest in reactor-physics analysis are. These data are the absolute delayed-neutron yield, the delayed-neutron energy spectrum, and the group fractions and decay constants used to describe the time behavior of delayed-neutron production. The recommended values are the result of a review and evaluation of experimental data and empirical correlations. Use of these values is discussed, and several remaining problems are described.
