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 majority of the currently proposed advanced reactor concepts requiring the use of HALEU (i.e., uranium enriched to greater than 10% but less than 20% U-235) fuel, the NRC's regulation on the Physical Protection of Plants and Materials (10 CFR 73) requires additional protections for HALEU (sometimes referred to as a Category II material) compared to the currently used LEU fuels (Category III material). This panel will discuss the potential impacts on the back end of the fuel cycle (e.g., interim storage, transportation, and recycling) as a result of using this Category II material over Category III material.
