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.

Interactive graphic techniques have been employed to analyze and interpret the discrepancies found between the integral measurement and the prediction of neutron flux in sodium. Direct adjustments have been made to improve the calculation-experiment agreement in the 10-keV to 1-MeV energy range. In general, the adjusted values for elastic cross sections have been found to be lower than the ENDF/B-IV values. Sensitivity of sodium spectra to the angular distribution of elastically scattered neutrons has also been determined.
