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 design scheme and system codes for fusion application have been developed for the ITER Test Blanket Module (TBM) program in Korea in parallel with the breeding blanket development, which were based on the developed system codes in Gen. IV reactor development projects such as MARS (Multi-dimensional Analysis of Reactor Safety) and GAMMA (GAs Multi-component Mixture Analysis). Considering the unique and common features with both the Fusion and Gen. IV reactors, four approaches have been carried out: (1) modifying the heat transfer model and suggesting a 3D analysis for considering the one-sided heating with extreme temperature differences, (2) implementing a tritium permeation model for a simulation of its behavior and amount simulation in a fusion coolant system, (3) developing a physical properties generation model for PbLi and Li considering the liquid metal breeders in these codes, and (4) implementing the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) model by Miyazaki et.al. To integrate these separate codes into single ones, called MARS-FR (Fusion Reactor) and GAMMA-FR, their environments were carefully handled during their development procedure.
