Toukan pointed out that the two countries seek to develop the use of nuclear energy in economic and social development, such as for generating electricity and desalinating water using integrated small nuclear reactors, in addition to other peaceful nuclear fields and applications, including industrial and medical.

Toukan’s comments came in the context of talking about the Jordanian-Saudi relations in the field of nuclear energy, which was embodied in an agreement to train the cadres of the Modern Nazaer Manufacturing Company in Saudi Arabia to deal with radioactive sources of iridium 192 in the Jordan’s research and training reactor, which was signed on Tuesday, at the end of the activities of the Saudi-Jordanian Business Forum.
