  1. 5.6The experience of Jordan on SSAC activities

  2. Lecture Outline : • Introduction • Jordan’s Radioactive Sources Register • Jordan’s Customs and JNRC Border Gates • SSAC National Objectives • Planned SSAC In Jordan • JNRC Needs for establishing SSAC

  3. Introduction Article 7: “...the State shall establish and maintain a system of accounting for and control of all nuclear material subject to safeguards under the Agreement ...” • Article 3: • “...the Agency and the State shall co-operate to facilitate the implementation of safeguards...” • The basic elements of the • State System of Accounting and Control (SSAC) • are set forth in Article 31-32 of the Agreement.

  4. Introduction • the State authority, office or persons designated as the formal technical interface for safeguards implementation with the Agency (and “facility” operators) • the system of nuclear material accountancy and control procedures laid down and implemented by the State authority (and “facility” operators)

  5. Introduction • Agency recommends that States designate the SSAC as the implementing authority for the AP advantage to do so: • SSAC is experienced in working with Agency. • AP requires reporting to the Agency on nuclear material and activities

  6. Jordan’s Radioactive Sources Register • JNRC has a complete updated register for radioisotopes (Rais). • JNRC experience in accounting and controlling radioisotopes will benefit Jordanian planned SSAC.

  7. Jordan’s Customs and JNRC Border Gates (import and export control) • Customs HS-codes (09) and JNRC permissions. • JNRC border detectors and employee. • Co-operation with other legal entities.

  8. SSAC National Objectives • regulate conditions of use • accounting for nuclear (and radioactive) material • physical protection (prevent misuse, unauthorized access) • ensure safety • radiological protection (workers, general public, environment) • control exports and imports

  9. Planned SSAC In Jordan • The state regulatory authority establishes the requirements for facility-level safeguards • The state’s requirements on facilities must allow for meeting the State’s obligations to the IAEA

  10. Planned SSAC In Jordan The Planned SSAC In Jordan Designed to identify: • Process and material descriptions • Changes in chemical and physical forms • Facility layout • Measurement methods • How Materials are Used/Stored • Loss detection • Organization and responsibilities • Material controls • Physical inventory

  11. Planned SSAC In Jordan • accounting for nuclear material information system • records and reports • requirements and procedures (Act and Regulations) • control of nuclear material • conditions of use, ownership (licensing) • inventory taking and verification (inspection) • Additional Protocol • information system (beyond nuclear material) • verification system (“complementary access”)

  12. JNRC Needs for establishing SSAC Define: • Responsibilities • Material Balance Structure • Key Measurement Points • Nuclear Materials Measurements • Physical Inventory Taking • Material Controls • Material Balance Closings and MUF evaluation • Information and reporting system

  13. JNRC Needs for establishing SSAC • Choice of a Measurement Method • Measurement Method • Fuel Assembly Measurement • Sampling • SSAC Quality Assurance

  14. JNRC Needs for establishing SSAC The chemical analyses of plutonium and uranium are based on these measurement principles: • Redox or Electrometric Titrimetry, • Gravimetry • Spectrophotometry • Luminescence • X-Ray Fluorescence • Mass Spectrometry
