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.

A detailed study of the carburization of Hastelloy-X and alloy 800H in high-temperature gas-cooled reactor helium was made to determine the cause of the wide variability of data generated in retorts. Data for 1000°C and 2500-h exposure show that up to an order of magnitude difference in the carburization levels can be caused by changes in the flow rate of the test gas and/or the position of the corrosion specimen in the gas stream. The results are unambiguously explained by the parameters Ṡ(H2O) and Ṡ(CH4), the supply rates of water and methane, respectively.
