The workshop, which brought together IAEA experts and participants from the regulatory commission and the Jordan Research and Training Reactor, contributes to boosting capacities to establish and sustain the effectiveness of regulatory bodies and operators in the field of nuclear material control and accounting through preparing reports and inspections under the Convention on Nuclear Safety and the Additional Protocol, the commission said in a press release.

IAEA participants commended the level of participants in the training course and the advanced level Jordan has achieved in this field.
