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.

A measuring device for measuring the mass flow of nonsteady-state two-phase flows has been developed based on the principle of rotating flow machines. Two versions of the device [true mass flowmeter (TMFM) 2.5 with a measuring range of 2.5 kg/s, and TMFM 50 with a measuring range of 50 kg/s] were used to study the measuring accuracy and the field use of the system. While the measurement errors of TMFM 2.5 are within ±2.2% of the maximum flow, it is possible with the TMFM 50 to reduce the measuring error to ±1.5% (quality x<l%) and ±0.5% (quality ≥ 1%). This implies that the accuracy in measuring two-phase mass flow is practically identical with that obtained in single-phase flow by familiar standard measuring techniques.
