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.

To describe the behavior of the molten core in the case of a loss-of-coolant accident with core melting, data on the properties of such core melts are required. These properties are dependent on the composition and structure of the melts. Available experimental evidence was used to define four types of melts that would occur, depending on the oxidation potential of the environment. Theoretical and experimental results were reviewed with a view to estimating such properties as heat capacity, viscosity, and thermal conductivity.
