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.

Results of global discharge modeling and simulation of the Hanbit magentic mirror discharge are given and an RF heating theory and its results are presented.
In the global discharge model, global transport equations of ions and electrons are solved including and impurity recycling equations. Based on the developed global model, the effect of oxygen impurity on the discharge characteristics is simulated. Also, Maxwell-Boltzmann equations are solved by the mode analysis technique to develop a theory of the radio frequency (RF) wave heating mechanism in a magnetic mirror discharge condition. Utilizing the solution the discharge impedance is calculated for the case of slot antenna. Moreover the plasma resistance is divided into an electron resistance and and ion resistance which indicate absorbed powers by electrons and ions, respectively.
