SESAME:

Through a series of three interregional projects over the past ten years, the IAEA has been providing technical cooperation support including:

  • Capacity Building (66 fellows trained, 30 meetings convened and 43 expert missions).
  • Safety Review of SESAME.
  • Working with TC to construct a MS beamline on co-funding basis.
  • TC support is now focusing on expanding the Users Community.

JRTR:

  • Building human capacity at the JRTR (20 fellows trained since 2009).
  • INSARR missions to review the results of the commissioning program and the routine
  • peration of the reactor.
  • Assistance through national TC projects, in design, commissioning and licensing the

neutron radiography beamline, high resolution powder diffractometer and assessing the current status of the NAA facility.

IAEA’ s Role

Jordan Atomic Energy Commission

▪ SESAME & JRTR should be viewed as a Center of Excellence for regional cooperation in nuclear science and technology. ▪ Photons (SESAME) and Neutrons (JRTR) are complimentary in probing materials in several important fields covering fundamental, basic and applied research. ▪ These two state-of-the-art facilities offer a unique regional hub for photon and neutron science and applications. ▪ IAEA’s support is sought to recognize this hub, develop synergism, attract fellows, researchers and users from the ME region and beyond.
