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.

In the GAMMA10 tandem mirror, the first pellet injection experiments in open systems have started.1 The tandem mirror machine is suitable for measuring propagation of pellet-fueled particles along the magnetic field lines. We observed a very low frequency oscillation in various diagnostic signals from the plasmas with a pellet injection. The frequency of the oscillation is a few hundred Hz. It is found that the phase of those signals changes to anti-phase at a certain place. The oscillation continued during plug-ECH for the formation of confining potential and its amplitude decays within a several ms after the end of ECH pulse. Measurements at several locations along the field lines indicates that this oscillation is a standing wave along field lines of plasma density perturbation due to the pellet injection. The wavelength of the oscillation is estimated to be about 6m. The oscillation has mode number n = 3.
