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.

Measurements of tritium concentration on the surface and in depth of various samples of constructional materials employed in nuclear power engineering have been made by making use of a magnetic microscope and a magnetic imager. -radiation images of large (up to 0.5 m) radioactive contaminated surfaces in a nonuniform magnetic field were obtained. The magnetic field uniformly increasing in the direction from the observable surface to the recording screen was used. The principal conditions of identical transfer of the image and its reduction coefficient were determined depending on the ratio of the magnetic fields on the sample surface and the screen. The experiments were carried out in vacuum conditions. The magnetic field was produced with a cylindrical rod of a magnetic material and in the screen area it was 0.5 T. Formation, transport and detection of images were fulfilled in a wide range of their reduction ratio (1-1/40).
