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.

The aim of inventory taking in the Karlsruhe Tritium Laboratory is to know at which time and place which amount of tritium is to be found in the laboratory. This paper describes for the first tritium delivery and the corresponding transfer to the tritium storage how to manage this problem. Segregation ist done between amounts of tritium which are available, bound and lost. It is shown where this fractions of tritium will be found and how to determine their quantities.
