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.

In order to enable a compact design of the next generation tokamak, 16 T is desired as the maximum magnetic field of its toroidal coil. In Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI), for the development of the 16-T toroidal coil, the one-meter-size 16-T demonstration coil program is now being discussed for the next project. As the research and development work for the high field toroidal coil, the segment test program, the FC program and the PHOENIX program are in progress. These programs have showed excellent results and is now going toward the 16-T demonstration coil as the target.
