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.
Stand with us in support of the brave workers and their families within Ukraine’s nuclear community.
An appeal from the Ukrainian Nuclear Society.
Help Ukraine Get Through Winter
Ukraine’s power grid is under attack. Russian airstrikes have destroyed over nine gigawatts of capacity, leaving the country with only a third of the power needed to meet peak winter demand. Daily blackouts of up to 20 hours and heating fuel shortages can mean life or death for many. Urgent help is needed.
Stand with us in helping Ukraine’s “frontline” nuclear communities stay warm this winter.
Give to the ANS-ENS Ukrainian Nuclear Workers Humanitarian Fund and help Ukraine’s nuclear communities in need across the country, from satellite cities that host nuclear power plants to communities that host specialized higher education institutions and nuclear research facilities.
In partnership with the European Nuclear Society (ENS), all donations go directly to the Ukrainian Nuclear Society for the purchase and distribution of essential medical supplies, personal protective equipment, batteries, flashlights, warm clothes, food, and other items.
The American Nuclear Society is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization. Your contribution is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
