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.

Solid state nuclear track detectors can be used in various reactor physics experiments to measure fission density distributions and fast- and thermal-neutron flux distributions. The use of a microdensitometer to determine track densities on the surface of irradiated detectors has proven to be very convenient. For fast neutron detection, comparison with activation detectors shows a higher sensitivity for the solid state nuclear track detectors.
