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.

Fast-neutron irradiation experiments were performed on a series of solution-treated, aged, and cold-worked copper-rich Cu-Fe alloys. The results obtained by electrical and magnetic measurements confirm data reported earlier that fast-neutron irradiation can cause aging or re-solution depending upon the pre-irradiation condition of the sample. The results obtained on the aged alloys are consistent with a displacement spike model, where the calculated value for the spike radius is approximately 35 Å (15 000 atoms).
