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.

A new numerical method using generalized eigenvector decomposition for the solution of pulsed activation is described and tested. This method allows for the treatment of multiple occurences of isotopes in the decay scheme including the treatment of an arbitrary number of loops. Preliminary comparisons with existing activation codes show good agreement and confirm that the method produces accurate results.
