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.

In order to determine effective charge Z* of tritium in V-4Cr-4Ti alloy, an electromigration experiment has been carried out at temperatures of 330, 373 and 423 K in an electric field strength of about 5 V/m. Tritium concentration profile in a steady state was measured with an imaging plate (IP) technique. According to a simple electromigration theory, the effective charge Z* of tritium was determined from the tritium profiles. Z* obtained increases from 0.7 to 0.95 with increasing temperature. Comparison with the value of Z* for pure V is made and influences of alloying elements on tritium electromigration are discussed.
