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.

With the lack of political progress on a repository for HLW, this panel will take the opportunity to focus on the waste streams the U.S. nuclear complex (industry + government) does have waste disposal solutions for and will provide the current status of these disposal facilities. Hopefully through this discussion, the path towards success for a HLW repository will become evident. In addition, an update on the current status of the HLW repository program in the U.S. will be provided.
