hullwhite - Zero-coupon bond price volatility with one factor Hull White interest rate model



I have been trying to understand the H&W model expression for zero coupon bond price volatilities:


νB(t0,tM)=νrm(1emτ0,M),


where νB(t0,tM) is zero coupon bond price volatility, νr is the short rate volatility, m is the mean-reversion level (or speed?) and τ0,M is the time to maturity.


I have looked in all the associated papers but found no exact match for this expression. What is the intuition and how exactly do you get this expression?


Edit: made notation clearer
