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 relative importance of the soluble and particle fractions that take part in the transport of pressurized water reactor corrosion product is discussed in terms of modeling research. A model is proposed that considers the dominant role of the colloidal/particle fraction in the primary coolant system mass and radioactivity transfer. A new hypothesis for a two-stage sticking mechanism is used to quantify the thermal and water chemistry effects on particle/wall interaction. Analytical expressions for the deposition and release coefficients are derived. The results obtained by the MIGA computer code using this model are compared with observations.
