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.

Unal’s subcooled flow boiling bubble model is being used in the best-estimate light water reactor code RELAP5/MOD3. There is a significant discontinuity (by a factor of 2) in the condensation heat transfer coefficient from this model at 1 MPa, which can cause numerical problems in the code. The correlation has been modified (with the approval of Unal) to remove the discontinuity at 1 MPa and to replace it with a form that is continuous to three significant places at 1.1272 MPa.
