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 new equation-of-state (EOS) of xenon at high temperatures and pressures has been developed. The equation is based on a multiparametric formulation of the corresponding states principle, and it is suitable for implementation in computer codes for the analysis of fission gas bubble kinetics. A comparison with previous formulations of the EOS of xenon shows that the new equation could be used with advantage to predict the behavior of nonequilibrium bubbles during fast transients.
