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.

SiC coating is formed on the reduced activation martensitic steel JLF-1 by radio frequency sputtering. The coating thickness decreases with increased deposition temperature and increases with increased deposition time. The atomic ratio of Si and C nears 1:1 in coating, while oxygen fraction exists. The coating shows a trend that the crystallization starts from deposition temperature of 723 K, though the coating is amorphous. In this study, the deuterium permeation flux of bare JLF-1 is lower about two orders of magnitude than that of Eurofer97, which is thought as a reason of oxidation of bare JLF-1 during test. The deuterium permeation flux of coated JLF-1 is about one to two orders of magnitude lower than that of bare JLF-1.
