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.

The high ion-temperature (> 10 keV) plasma has been performed in ion-cyclotron range of frequency (ICRF) heating experiments on the GAMMA 10 tandem mirror. In such a high performance plasma, low frequency density fluctuations are observed in relation to the applied ICRF powers. A drift-type fluctuation, that is excited when high power ICRFs for the plasma production are applied, is observed in the whole of GAMMA 10 with the finite wave length. The amplitude of the drift-type fluctuation depends strongly on the gas puffing rate, the ICRF antenna configuration and so on. The radial transport of high energy ions due to these fluctuations is studied.
