Ammon News - A senior International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) official has said that Jordan's flagship uranium mining project is a model for mining initiatives in the region, noting that the project was designed in sequence using a prudent scientific approach.

During a visit Monday to a uranium mining project in central Jordan, implemented by the Jordan Uranium Mining Company, IAEA Deputy Director Hua Liu said he was impressed by the project's progress and its contribution to training Jordanian and Arab professionals.
