The Jordan Atomic Energy Commission (JAEC) has awarded a site study contract for Jordan’s first nuclear power plant to TRACTEBEL ENGINEERING (GDF SUEZ). The contract agreement for the 24 month long study was signed by JAEC Chairman Dr. Khaled Toukan and TRACTEBEL ENGINEERING CEO Georges Cornet.
TRACTEBEL ENGINEERING will begin investigating the preliminary site near Agaba, which was identified by JAEC and a technical national committee.
The studies will cover public health, safety, and security issues, in addition to conducting specialized surveys to assess geological stability, geo-physics, soil characteristics, water proximity and cooling water requirements, risk assessment, electricity grid connectivity, environmental and health impact, and natural and human induced events.
The coalition led by TRACTEBEL ENGINEERING and composed of 2 other companies: Jordan's Arab Consultants Bureau and France's Bureau Veritas, was chosen from 6 international companies which competed for the site study contract.
