Jordan Nuclear Regulatory Commission
The Jordan Nuclear Regulatory Commission (JNRC) (Arabic هيئة تنظيم العمل الإشعاعي والنووي) was established in 2007 as a successor to the former Jordan Nuclear Energy Commission, established in 2001. The JNRC utilizes the IAEA safety standards and works closely with the IAEA in addition to the EU, USDOE, CNSC, IRSN and KINS. In its capacity as a monitoring body that offers licenses to nuclear facilities, the commission is currently examining documents on the initial safety report presented by Jordan Atomic Energy Commission as well as working with the Korean Atomic Energy Research Institute to obtain permission for constructing a nuclear research plant on campus of Jordan University of Science and Technology with a capacity of 5-10 Mwatt. See also * Jordan Radioactive Storage Facility The Jordan Radioactive Storage Facility is a proposed national storage facility in Amman for Jordan's radioactive waste and nuclear materials. The agreement bet ...

Government Of Jordan
The politics of Jordan takes place in a framework of a parliamentary monarchy, whereby the Prime Minister of Jordan is head of government, and of a multi-party system.

Jordan Atomic Energy Commission
Jordan Atomic Energy Commission (JAEC) (Arabic هيئة الطاقة الذرية الأردنية) was established in place of the Jordan Nuclear Energy Commission. The main objective of the JAEC is to promote and develop peaceful utilization of atomic energy. Objectives The commission directs its projects to the two objectives: * The use of nuclear energy to produce electricity: Jordan is among the highest in the world in dependency on foreign energy sources, 96% of the country's energy needs come from imported oil and natural gas from neighboring Arab countries. This complete reliance on foreign oil imports consumes a significant amount of Jordan's GDP. This led the country to plan investments of $15 billion in renewable and nuclear energy. Jordan plans to get 60% of its energy needs from nuclear energy by 2035. * Convert Salt water into drinking water: the scarcity of water resources in Jordan is one of the main challenges for Jordan. Although Jordan is considered among the to ...

Nuclear Power In Jordan
In December 2016, the Jordan Atomic Energy Commission (JAEC), in cooperation with a consortium headed by the Korean Atomic Energy Research Institute, inaugurated the 5 MW Jordan Research and Training Reactor. The facility is the first nuclear reactor in the country. It will provide radioactive isotopes for medical usage in Jordan, and will provide training for students at the University to produce a skilled workforce for the country's planned commercial nuclear reactors. As of 2023, Jordan is considering options for purchasing small modular reactors. Nuclear power plans In 2007, Jordan's Committee for Nuclear Strategy was formed in order to start the development of nuclear programs in Jordan. Its ultimate goal is for nuclear power to provide 30% of Jordan's electricity by 2030, and to provide electricity for export. From this program, the Jordan Atomic Energy Commission and the Jordan Nuclear Regulatory Commission were developed. Also in 2007, Jordan announced a plan which wou ...

Jordan Radioactive Storage Facility
The Jordan Radioactive Storage Facility is a proposed national storage facility in Amman for Jordan's radioactive waste and nuclear materials. The agreement between Jordan Atomic Energy Commission (JAEC) and the US Department of Energy's (DoE's) Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) was signed by Ned Xoubi, nuclear fuel cycle commissioner at JAEC, and Daniel Rutherford, contract manager at PNNL. The project was completed in 2017 and became operational in 2019. It consists of an approximately four thousand square foot storage facility that will hold Jordan's radioactive waste and nuclear sources in a safe and secure environment for the next five decades. All radioactive waste will be managed, stored and monitored in strict accordance with the best international standards and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) guidelines. The facility is the first of its kind in Jordan and is being designed and constructed by Jordanian engineers with the help of American experts ...
