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.

In this paper, the possibility for determination of the tritiated water activity using Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectrometry was analyzed. The method relies on estimation of hydroxyl radicals resulted from self-radiolytical processes using EPR spectrometers. The mechanisms of inducing of free radical by self radiolysis of tritiated water, the accumulation time of hydroxyl radicals and the corroboration of signals amplitude with the tritiated water concentration have been studied.
