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.

In order to elucidate the dissolution/deposition behavior of corrosion products in supercritical-water-cooled reactor (SCWR) coolant, chemical thermodynamics calculation was carried out, taking into account the electrochemical properties of supercritical water. The review of thermodynamics models revealed the applicability of the modified HKF model for ionic species in the supercritical region. Using the calculation results, potential-pH diagrams were drawn for metal/water systems, which exhibited the effect of temperature and pressure on the stability of oxide in the SCWR core region.
