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 Supply Chain SOTU session will be an overview highlighting current events, initiatives, and factors impacting both utilities and suppliers. INPO in its IER 21-4 has identified more than 600 of what they term “Noteworthy - Consequential” events related to faulty parts that, between 2018 and 2020, led to a loss of generation equivalent to shutting down the entire nuclear industry for 16 days. 10 CFR 50.69 efforts, utility dedication labs, and other utility cost saving measures, along with plant closures, are putting pressure on the suppliers utilities need to keep plants operating safely.
This session will provide an overview of the various factors, many of which will be explored in greater detail in other sessions in this Track. Input from discussions during this session will be factored into following sessions in the Supply Chain Track for this Conference.
