As China National Nuclear Corporation approached with the ACP 1000, Rosatom changed its strategy in Jordan.
The company will build small modular reactors for Jordan. The parties signed an agreement on the construction of a modular reactor in the country of Russian design.
One of the main advantages of nuclear power plants of this type is the multi-purpose nature of use, including for the needs of desalination and heat generation.
Jordan is considering using all existing technologies to reduce dependence on energy imports. Countries continue to cooperate in the training of personnel for the implementation of the Jordanian nuclear program. At the moment, one hundred Jordanian students receive education in leading Russian universities.
