South Korean consortium signs Jordan research reactor deal

摘要

A South Korean consortium has signed a contract to build Jordan's first research reactor by 2015. The consortium, led by the state-run Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI), has signed a formal contract to build the 5MW Jordan Research and Training Reactor (JRTR), South Korea's Ministry of Education, Science and Technology said.rnThe KAERI-Daewoo Engineering and Construction Company consortium signed a letter of intent for the project earlier this year with the Jordan Atomic Energy Commission. Under the formal agreement, the consortium will build the reactor, a radioactive isotope manufacturing facility, and related buildings, over the next five years.
