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 origins and goals of the advanced fluid dynamics model (AFDM) program are described, and the models, algorithm, and coding used in the resulting AFDM computer program are summarized. Two boiling pool calculations are presented, the first of an experiment with volume-heated water, the second of a sample fuel/steel pool that is compared with a similar SIMMER-II calculation. A subjective assessment of the AFDM developments is given. It is concluded that a future severe accident code development program might be more oriented toward identification of generic or typical accident sequences rather than attempting to address all uncertainties.
