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.

Both molecular iodine and methyl iodide can be removed from air streams by electrolytic scrubbing using a solution of cobalt in dilute nitric acid. In a test system, 1350 ml/min of air containing 100 ppm CH3I was contacted with 30 ml of 0.1 M Co—8 M HNO3 in an anode compartment that had a current of 4 A; this resulted in a decontamination factor (DF) of ∼100 for iodine. A similar test using molecular iodine in air gave a DF of ∼600.
