EMRC Concludes Participation in International ConvEx-3 Exercise to Strengthen National Preparedness for Nuclear and Radiological Emergencies

The Energy and Minerals Regulatory Commission (EMRC) has concluded its effective participation in the international ConvEx-3 exercise, organized by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) over 24–25 June 2025. The large-scale drill brought together IAEA Member States -more than 75 countries and 10 international organizations- to simulate a hypothetical nuclear incident at the Cernavoda Nuclear Power Plant in Romania. اضافة اعلان Eng. Ziad Al-Saaydeh, Chairman of the EMRC Board of Commissioners, stated that the exercise marks a significant milestone in enhancing Jordan's national capabilities and strengthening its framework for preparedness in nuclear and radiological emergencies. He affirmed the Kingdom's continued commitment to the implementation of international nuclear safety conventions, emphasizing that EMRC is working through integrated plans covering regulatory, technical, and communication aspects to ensure the highest levels of protection for individuals, property, and the environment in accordance with global best practices. ConvEx-3 is the highest-level emergency preparedness exercise conducted by the IAEA. It aims to assess the effectiveness of both national and international responses to complex nuclear and radiological scenarios, evaluate coordination efficiency and information exchange between states, and identify opportunities to improve national emergency plans. What made this edition unique was the integration of simulated cyber threats, cross-border coordination on protective measures, and a secure social media simulation platform to test real-time public communication strategies. EMRC's engagement in the exercise included activating Jordan's officially designated National Warning Point and coordinating real-time information exchange via the IAEA's Unified System for Information Exchange in Incidents and Emergencies (USIE). The Commission also issued transparent and professional public updates regarding Jordan's radiological safety status and monitored developments through its direct link with the IAEA's International Radiation Monitoring Information System (IRMIS). At the conclusion of the exercise, Chairman Al-Saaydeh stressed the importance of such international simulations in testing the responsiveness and resilience of Jordan's emergency systems under realistic and complex conditions. He reiterated that EMRC, in close cooperation with the IAEA, remains dedicated to further enhancing its regulatory and technical capabilities—reinforcing Jordan's position as a responsible and proactive member of the global nuclear and radiological safety and security framework.
