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.

A review and an investigation of gamma noise studies was conducted at Otaniemi, Finland, including the development of stochastic models, numerical studies, and experience gained from subcritical reactors. Three special and concrete aspects were considered: the use of photon-sensitive detectors for data extraction in reactor noise measurements, the degrading influence of gamma radiation in some types of measurements with gamma-compensated and -uncompensated ionization chambers, and a special gamma suppression technique in linear power measurements.
