| Abstract | BACKGROUND This work identifies the characteristics of the site area for the development of a Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) to the south east of the city of Zarqa in Jordan. These characteristics include site geography, meteorology, hydrology of the region, its biological and seismological effects, demographic and nearby industrial regions. A robust approach was deployed, that combined a field reconnaissance, desktop study of the available data, the application of agreed criteria, coupled with engineering judgment and logical arguments. METHODS During the process of site selection a set of screening criteria were applied that were agreed with the following committees: Jordan atomic energy commission (JAEC), the Technical Committee and Jordan nuclear regulatory commission (JNRC). RESULTS The established region of interest (Region 1) was emerged from previously completed Countrywide Survey (CWS). The screening criteria included both exclusionary and discretionary criteria that are in line with IAEA safety guides, JNRC instructions and others safety guides. The screening criteria also took into account the Nuclear Safety Cell (NSC) of the Jordanian armed forces. |
