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.

Design studies on the superconducting helical coil of Heliotron G reactor are reported. Neither demountable nor modular helical coil system was adopted. The continuous helical coil with the cryostat is constructed in a body with a plasma vacuum vessel. Three design examples will be described. For pool boiling and forced flow cooled types, single-layered coil is proposed so as to ensure the reliability of the insulation and of the helical winding. Large current conductors are designed. For superfluid bath cooled type, a conductor available in the present stage is used and multi-layered coil is designed.
