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.

The safety analysis for the design of the IFMIF accelerator facility is an ongoing task within the IFMIF project, and the radioprotection analysis is one of the main sections of this task. The high energy beam transport line is a very sensitive section since it contains intense radiation sources. This work presents the radiological analysis of its current layout, and the design of local radiation shields, in order to meet project dose limits. These limits are established to protect workers in neighboring rooms during operation and to ensure unrestricted access for maintenance operations.
