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.

Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) represent a paradigm shift in nuclear technology by offering scalable designs and streamlined deployment processes. In addition, they present a massive potential for nuclear energy/reactor deployment over the next 5-10 years in very diverse areas of our economy, from electricity production to process heat! Together with our panelists, we'll dive into the envisioned applications for SMRs, which design criteria was considered, and where these reactors can take the next big step!
