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 use of large, functional mockups as a means to develop fusion reactor remote maintenance technology was examined. Critical remote maintenance requirements were categorized and one example, the removal and replacement of a torus sector, was used to illustrate the use of mockups. A generic mockup system was developed and the engineering issues which could be addressed were listed. Consideration was given to techniques involved in designing and using functional mockups for this purpose.
