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 Consortium for Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactors Virtual Meeting
Plenary Session|Panel

Plenary Agenda
The unique partnerships built by CASL brought together a diverse team of talented individuals working in a collaborative environment across the national laboratories, academia and industry. The key to such collaboration is having a shared vision, a line of sight from each individual contributor and technical focus area towards common goals, and excellence in execution. There have been hundreds of contributors to the CASL program during the history of the hub who were brought together under a “one roof” virtual environment with the goal of providing tools and capabilities that have not only high value but high impact with respect to addressing the design and operational challenges of the current, as well as future, nuclear fleet. The CASL Partner’s Panel, representing the CASL core partners, brings together speakers from the DOE laboratories, academia and industry to discuss perspectives on science and applied research, software development and deployment, and impact on nuclear engineering education. In addition, DOE NE will provide a perspective on the transition of CASL and future of modeling and simulation for advanced nuclear energy.
