(ANSAmed) - AMMAN, JUNE 30 - Jordan has signed two memorandums of understanding with Canada and Britain to provide the kingdom with technology and know how on its peaceful nuclear programme, an official said today. The latest accord was signed yesterday between Jordan and Britain in Amman, on hope of reaching a comprehensive agreement before year end, said Jordan Nuclear Energy Commission (JNEC) President Khalid Touqan. Britain would provide the kingdom with needed technology and train its staff on maintaining a reliable source of nuclear fuel for the future nuclear reactors, said Touqan. The agreement also tackles nuclear safety, power generation and desalinating water using nuclear energy. A similar agreement was signed with Canada on Saturday. The desert kingdom has so far signed three agreements in this field with France, Britain and Canada in a bid encouraged nuclear advanced nations provide the kingdom with all help in getting its nuclear reactor up and running. The interested countries agreed they will explore, exploit and mine Jordan's rich underground reserves of nuclear minerals such uranium in exchange for providing the cash-strapped country with an operational nuclear programme. A peaceful nuclear programme has become an urgent necessity to the kingdom in light of the sky-high prices of fuel. The kingdom has no oil and relies on import from the oil rich Gulf states. The recent increased added pressure on the state budget and drove prices of commodities high. (ANSAmed).
