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.

Flow film boiling heat transfer data from Semiscale Mod-3 gravity feed reflood experiments have been compared to existing film boiling correlations. The existing film boiling correlations were found to be inadequate for calculating Semiscale rod bundle results in the low void fraction region. Therefore, a new correlation for flow film boiling was developed. The new correlation is applicable for boiling water with stainless steel electrically heated vertical rods for a pressure range from 127 to 390 kPa. The new correlation is sensitive to such parameters as the local void fraction, the wall temperature, the bulk vapor temperature, and the total mass flux.
