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.

Michael J. Dalmaso (Savannah River National Laboratory)
From 2017 through the summer of 2020, approximately 6000 gallons of Highly Enriched Uranium (HEU) containing liquid known as Target Residual Material (TRM) was transferred from the Chalk River Laboratories in Ontario, Canada to the Savannah River Site in Aiken, SC. The Canadian TRM was the liquid that remained after HEU targets were irradiated in the National Research Universal (NRU) research reactor and processed to recover molybdenum-99, an important medical isotope. The material was received and processed in the Site’s H Canyon, the nation’s only large scale nuclear chemical processing facility.
