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.

The current fleet of U.S. nuclear reactors provide almost 20% of the U.S. electricity supply and over 50% of the emission-free generation. However, due to changing market conditions, many nuclear plants are finding they are not competitive in the overall electricity market. At least three major economic reports over the last few years have indicated many U.S. commercial nuclear plants remain economically challenged and many are in danger of shutting down without federal or state economic assistance.
This session will include industry leaders describing technologies, advanced processes and governance changes that can drive significant operating cost reductions. This panel will also explore how to implement advanced technologies and business processes to realize improved economic performance and operating cost reductions through implementation.
