Jordan Atomic Energy Commission: Distribution of potassium iodide tablets if radiation exceeds the permissible limit in Jordan.

Arab Weather - Chairman of the Jordan Atomic Energy Commission, Dr. Khaled Toukan, said that plans to deal with any radiation leak resulting from the targeting of the Dimona reactor include distributing potassium iodide tablets to residents of specific areas to prevent the absorption of radioactive iodine gas and protect the thyroid gland.

In a statement to Ain Radio, Touqan confirmed that specialized teams are currently meeting at the Crisis Management Center, and that plans are in place for immediate response in the event of a radioactive incident . He emphasized that the potential impact on Jordan would be limited.

He explained that the Kingdom has an early warning system, along with thirty monitoring stations spread across various regions that operate automatically and monitor air, soil, and water. There are also stations near Jordan's nuclear reactor to ensure the absence of any hazards.

He pointed out that targeting fortified Israeli nuclear facilities could lead to the formation of a contaminated cloud, but its impact would be limited and would likely only reach the desert south of the kingdom, without affecting cities or population centers.

Touqan explained that there are specialized teams capable of purifying soil and water, models to track the path of the radioactive cloud , and plans to estimate doses and conduct a comprehensive environmental survey in the event of any leak.
