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.

Technical Paper | Mixed-Oxide Fuel / Nuclear Fuel Cycle | doi.org/10.13182/NT93-A34798
Articles are hosted by Taylor and Francis Online.
The fabrication of mixed uranium-plutonium oxide fuel for the U.K. Fast Breeder Reactor Programme is discussed, and the experience gained by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority and British Nuclear Fuels pic over the past 25 yr is used to identify aspects of the manufacturing routes that influence irradiation performance and subsequent recycle. The design of a small-scale production plant for fast reactor mixed-oxide (MOX) fuels is discussed, and its conversion to produce 8 tonne/yr (heavy metal) thermal MOX fuel is outlined.
