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.

Reduction of hydrogen contents in low Z films coated at room temperature has been systematically investigated to control hydrogen recycling, which is considered as one of key issues to achieve high plasma performance in Large Helical Device (LHD). Within experiments on boron films produced from B10H14 or B2H6 and carbon films from CH4, the hydrogen content is successfully reduced with the increase of the film growth rate by controlling DC glow discharge conditions. These results form an important database for general use of hydrogen reduction in low Z films coated at room temperature.
