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.

Radiation induced change in electrical conductivity of proton conductive ceramics (Yb-doped SrCeO3) have been investigated under 14 MeV fast neutrons in air at temperatures of 293 and 373 K. It was found that the electrical conductivity under neutron irradiation at 293 and 373 K gradually decreased with increased neutron fluence reaching a constant for neutron fluences above 2.0 × 1018 and 1.0 × 1017 n/m2, respectively. The decrease of the electrical conductivity may be associated with annihilation of sub-bands due to Ce4+ to Ce3+ conversion.
