AMMAN — Jordan’s under-formation Green Party on Thursday sent invitations to political parties to hold an “urgent” meeting to discuss the government’s final decision to move ahead with the nuclear programme.
In a statement sent to The Jordan Times, the Green Party said it included with the invitation letters a brief study on the environmental impact of the projected nuclear plants, expressing hope that all political parties would reach a consensus to object to the government’s nuclear plans.
Earlier this week, the government announced that it has selected the Russian state-owned firm Rosatom to build two 1,000-megawatt nuclear power plants east of Amman by 2022.
