  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.

Measurements of 14-MeV neutron leakage multiplication in lead are performed by the total absorption method. A polyethylene sphere is used as the neutron moderator and total absorber. Results from a ²³⁵U fission chamber and a ⁶Li glass detector are analyzed. The measurements are 7% lower than ANISN calculations using ENDF/B-VI.
