AMMAN — The national environmental radiation monitoring system is operating efficiently around the clock, Chairman of the Board of Commissioners of the Energy and Minerals Regulatory Commission (EMRC) Ziyad Saaydeh said on Monday.
He added that the system comprises an integrated network of fixed stations and mobile field laboratories, supervised by specialised technical teams, and adheres to the “highest” technical standards and the best international practices, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
Saaydeh noted that the results of radiation monitor and analyses, carried out since early Sunday at several sites using mobile labs and advanced measuring devices, showed that radiation levels in the Kingdom remain within natural limits, which is reassuring and does not warrant concern.
The EMRC continues to enhance its technical capabilities through the deployment of advanced mobile radiation monitoring stations, which constitute a “key” component of the national emergency radiation response plan.
Jordan is also among the first Arab countries to link its fixed monitoring stations to the International Atomic Energy Agency's global monitoring network through the International Radiation Monitoring Information System, which facilitates real-time data exchange and analysis during emergencies, thereby improving response speed and decision-making accuracy.
He stressed that the commission, in full coordination with the National Centre for Security and Crisis Management and all stakeholders, continues to operate at the highest levels of preparedness and professionalism to ensure the safety and protection of citizens, embodying the proactive approach adopted by the state in responding to developments.
