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.

Technical Paper | D-3He/Fusion Reactor | doi.org/10.13182/FST92-A30059
Articles are hosted by Taylor and Francis Online.
The importance of D-3He reactor development in the attainment of attractive fusion energy is discussed. In addition to D-3He plasma physics and confinement issues, the use of low-activation wall materials and commercial production of 3He are vital issues for the successful achievement of a D-3He energy economy. These issues are discussed, and D-3He reactor features contrasted to deuterium-tritium and fission reactors.
