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.

Structures of magnetic field fluctuations in the HANBIT mirror device have been measured using a movable magnetic probe. The effects of the magnetic field and the RF power on the magnetic fluctuations have been studied. Electromagnetic plasma waves in low-pressure plasmas and high-pressure plasmas have been analyzed and the results indicates that sideband mode coupling is smaller in low-pressure plasmas. It is also found that the lower sideband coupling is enhanced at the resonance point, where the frequency of applied RF wave is similar to that of local ion cyclotron frequency, and a local stabilization of magnetic fluctuations is observed to occur there.
