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.

Oak Ridge National Laboratory addresses compelling challenges in delivering carbon-free fusion and fission energy systems. The lab traces its roots to the X-10 Graphite Reactor, the world’s first continuously operated nuclear reactor, and to early innovations in fusion research and engineering.
ORNL has unique facilities for materials research and high performance computing that support our scientists and engineers in addressing challenges such as extended operations of the current US nuclear reactor fleet; investigating economical and flexible advanced reactor systems; and making fusion energy a viable power source.
ORNL also leads US ITER, which is responsible for designing, fabricating, and delivering hardware systems for the international ITER fusion project that will demonstrate 500 MW of fusion power. The directorate also leads the Transformational Challenge Reactor program, which leverages advanced manufacturing for rapid and economical deployment of nuclear technologies, and the Material Plasma Exposure eXperiment (MPEX), a future world-leading capability that will produce the extreme plasma environments to test materials for use in fusion energy devices.
