Future Applications of Neutron Beam Instruments for Jordan Research and Training Reactor (JRTR)

Jordan Research and Training Reactor (JRTR) is the first nuclear reactor in Jordan and the newest research reactor in the world. This university research reactor (located inside the campus of Jordan University of Science and Technology, Ar-ramtha-Irbid City, north of Jordan) is owned and operated by the Jordan Atomic Energy Commission (JAEC) and it is the first Korean nuclear reactor exported and built outside Korea. The JRTR, commissioned in 2016, is currently operational. This article concludes the JRTR design characteristics and features. The current status of the JRTR readiness and various potential capabilities are described as well as some future plans. This article highlights some cases of potential collaborations locally and internationally which will contribute to the nuclear community efforts to achieve highest of rearch reactors utilization in various categories of nuclear sciences to meet with the increasing global demand on the various nuclear applications and scientific research.
