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.

A production facility to solidify radiation liquid wastes is being built at the Idaho Chemical Processing Plant. The facility will use fluidized-bed technology and in-bed combustion to convert 11400 ℓ/day (net) of radioactive wastes from the liquid to the solid form. This solidification process makes the wastes easier and safer to handle and store, reduces the volume by a factor of ten, and places this waste in a form suitable for long-term or permanent storage.
