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.

An FM reflectometer is developed to measure the density profile of the MP2 device. It operates in the frequency range of 7.78-12.38 GHz. Phase information is obtained by digitizing the IQ detector outputs. However, the measured signal is significantly contaminated by noise due to microwave reflection at various points because the emitting and receiving antennas are installed outside of the vacuum window. A center aligned Fourier transform is used to remove the noise and extract the correct phase information from the measurement. In this paper, data analysis techniques are introducedplasma density profile is shown.
