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.

According to the requirements of the tritium related systems of the TBM for monitoring the on-line tritium concentration, a wide-range tritium-concentration detector has been developed to measure the tritium concentration in the range of 104 Bq/ml &sim 5×108 Bq/ml. Correspondingly, the minimum weak current which the detector could be measured is 10−14 A. The performances of the background current and the current response linearity of the prototype have been tested.
