Nuclear Energy Nuclear energy offers a promising approach to meeting
Jordan’s energy needs, an approach that would Reduce dependence on oil imports Create jobs Raise the standard of living Alleviate the burden on the national budget Provide electricity for water desalination, and hydrogen
production
