ANS awards new Presidential Citations
Twice per year, the American Nuclear Society confers Presidential Citations on individuals who have demonstrated outstanding efforts benefiting ANS or the broader nuclear community.
Last week at the opening plenary of the 2026 ANS Annual Conference in Denver, Colo., immediate past president of ANS Hash Hashemian named this season’s recipients of the award.

To reduce the tritium permeation from the primary liquid metal loop to the secondary water loop, a heat exchanger concept that incorporates small diameter tubes containing an oxidizer was proposed. An inert gas containing a small amount of oxidizer flows in the small tubes oxiding tritium that comes from the primary liquid metal coolant. The tritiated water is sent to a tritium recovery system minimizing leakage to the secondary water loop. Our evaluation results indicated that the tritium leakage through the heat exchanger was reduced to 1/105 with an acceptable increase in the size of the heat exchanger.
