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 effort involved in determining the location and quantity of reactor fuel remaining in the nuclear auxiliary systems of the auxiliary/fuel handling building at Three Mile Island Unit 2 is discussed. The overall approach identifying the most likely locations for reactor fuel, the gamma-ray spectrometry system used, and the radiation transport computer codes and numerical analysis techniques used is also discussed. The results of the measurements show that a very small quantity of reactor fuel remains in the makeup and purification and the waste disposal liquid systems.
