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.

Prior to construction, the modular steam generator of the French 250-MW(e) fast breeder demonstration plant (Phenix) was submitted to a number of tests carried out on scale-one module mockups. The Phenix steam generator consists of seven tube coil-shaped modules operated as countercurrent sodium-to-water (or steam) heat exchangers. We report on the experimental verification of the accuracy of the procedures and models utilized to predict the steady-state heat transfer, the pressure losses, and the static stability of a 15-MW(th) mockup comprised of an economizer-evaporator, a superheater, and a reheater tested for 8000 h on the 5-MW(th) CEA facility at Grand Quevilly, and a 45-MW(th) mock-up comprised of three economizer-evaporators, three superheaters, and three reheaters tested 6200 h at Les Renardières on the 45-MW(th) EDF facility.
