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.

Adsorption and desorption of D2O or H2O, as a simulator of HTO, on iron surface covered with thin iron oxide film were studied by thermal desorption (TD), electron stimulated desorption (ESD), photon stimulated desorption (PSD), X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). When the iron was heated under constant heating rate (5K/min), adsorbed D2O was desorbed around 400K and 600K. Adsorbed D2O which could not be desorbed by heating to 773K could be desorbed by irradiation with photon or bombardment with electron.
