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 new data acquisition and analysis system for unexpected, rapid changes in plasma parameters has been developed. The scheme is designed for the high-temperature plasmas of long-time tokamak operation. The post trigger samples of conventional computer-automated measurement and control modules are utilized during a sudden event. The scheme of the method is described. This method is applied to the long discharges of the TRIAM-1M tokamak. The system works well for an unexpected and rapid termination of a discharge and could provide desired data. It is demonstrated that a new system with proper monitoring can track the unexpected, rapid changes in plasma parameters.
