| Abstract/Citation: | The plan lays out a general framework with clear-cut goals to institutionalize cooperation between concerned Jordanian bodies and similar authorities in the U.S. with the aim of devising a Jordanian response designed to combat the smuggling of nuclear and radioactive materials. The plan sets the ground for closer mutual technical cooperation and will contribute to providing the Kingdom with the latest technological equipment. It also aims at building a robust nuclear safety system as the Kingdom has an ambitious program to harness nuclear energy. |
