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 TRF (Tritium Removal Facility) will be constructed at Wolsong Nuclear Generating station to remove the tritium from heavy water. Titanium sponge has been selected as suitable material for tritium product immobilization. This paper is a summary of the experimental results conducted for the various properties of the reaction between titanium sponge and hydrogen isotopes. The conditions for activation, hydriding and dehydriding were investigated. The factors such as initial gas pressure and the helium content in the gas stream influencing the hydriding rate of the bed were examined.
