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.

This panel is a follow up to the previous panel hosted at the ATH conference in Anaheim. It will focus on thermal hydraulics related needs, challenges, and opportunities in the deployment of advanced nuclear reactors. Participants from companies receiving awards from the US DOE's recent Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program will share their insights on how the program has impacted their development as well as the general impact on the nuclear field and participate in a discussion on how the state of the art in R&D is being incorporated into their design and licensing process. Panelists will give brief overview presentations, followed by an extended Q&A session.
