The system includes an integrated network of fixed stations and mobile field laboratories, all operated by specialized and qualified technical teams, in accordance with the highest technical standards and international best practices.

Al-Saaydeh explained that radiation monitoring results and analyses—conducted since early Sunday at several targeted sites using mobile labs and advanced measuring equipment—are part of the commission’s ongoing daily inspections under a comprehensive precautionary plan. These results showed that radiation levels across the Kingdom remain within natural background limits, offering reassurance and requiring no additional measures.

He emphasized that the EMRC strengthens its technical capabilities through advanced mobile radiation monitoring stations, which are essential components of Jordan’s National Radiological Emergency Plan. These units provide immediate and accurate assessments at sensitive locations.

Jordan is also one of the first Arab countries to link its fixed stations to the International Radiation Monitoring Information System (IRMIS) run by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). This connection enables real-time data exchange and analysis during emergencies, enhancing rapid response and informed decision-making.

Al-Saaydeh added that these efforts reflect the commission’s regulatory role within an integrated national system for environmental radiation monitoring. This system operates with efficiency and transparency, demonstrating Jordan’s commitment to public safety and sustainable institutional performance.

He affirmed that the EMRC, in full coordination with the National Center for Security and Crisis Management and all relevant agencies, continues to operate at the highest level of readiness and professionalism to ensure the safety and protection of citizens—embodying the state's proactive approach in dealing with any developments.
