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.

Benchmark calculations of the Canada deuterium uranium reactor design and analysis codes were performed for the Monte Carlo and conventional methods using Phase-B measurement data of the Wolsong Nuclear Power Plant 2. In this study, the benchmark calculations were done for the criticality, boron worth, reactivity device worth, and flux scan. For the benchmark calculation of the Monte Carlo method by MCNP-4B, the criticality was estimated within 4 mk. The reactivity worth of the control devices was consistent with the measurement data within 15%. For the benchmark calculation of the conventional method composed of WIMS-AECL, SHETAN, and RFSP, the criticality was also predicted within 4 mk. The reactivity device worth was generally consistent with the measured data except for the strong absorbers such as shutoff rods and mechanical control absorbers. The results of the flux distribution calculations were also satisfactory for both code systems.
