Main activities of the project
The Preliminary Safety Analysis Report (PSAR) has been submitted
to JNRC on July 31, 2011. JNRC has thoroughly reviewed the PSAR and
recently announced that there are no major concerns that jeopardize
the safety of the reactorConstruction of the Nuclear Research and
Training Center (NRTC) has started in March 2011Site excavation
started in March 2012The NRTC was attacked by a misinformed group
of people on July 12, 2012Metrological Tower has been put in
operation in August 2012Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)
investigation has started in November 2012. Expected to be
concluded in February 2013Construction Permit by the Jordanian
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (JNRC) is expected by March 2013
based on two Limited Work Authorizations (LWA) that have been
issued (Feb. 2012 and Nov. 2012)An agreement with a Consortium of
Consultant Services (NucAdvisor) has been signed in September 2013
to advise JAEC in the construction and operation of JRTRFirst
Concrete work (Basemat concrete) is expected in early February
2013

RTR will enable a large spectrum of activities governed in the
following categorieS:
Education and training;Research and development;Production of
medical and industrial radioisotopes (Iodine, Iridium, Molybdenum,
etc.)
Since the agreement with the KAERI-Daweoo Consortium (KDC) to
construct JRTRThe progress is estimated at 44%.This progress can be
categorized into three main activities:-Engineering Discipline
where the achievement is around 84%-Procurement Discipline: 37%,
and the -Construction Discipline: 21%
