AMMAN [MENL] -- The United Nations has offered to establish a regional nuclear research facility in Jordan. The facility would enable scientists from the Middle East to conduct research on advanced equipment. This would include an accelerator and produce radioactive emissions as part of a project called the Synchrotron Light for Experimental Science and Applications for the Middle East.

The $100 million project is being discussed by Jordan's parliament. The UN agency Unesco would operate the facility.

Officials said the facility will be established around 30 kilometers from Amman and hosted by the Balqa University for Applied Sciences. They termed the facility as a project meant to advance applied sciences as well as research and technology.

"It will be used for peaceful purposes like water desalination, pharmaceutical industries and nuclear medicine," Jordanian parliamentary chairman Ali Abu Rubeiha said. "It will not be used for generating electricity because its power is limited."


Commento: così si capisce tutto sull'ONU. Anche l'UNESCO, una delle agenzie ONU che fece l'accordo leonino con la IAEA, rivela le sue intenzioni. E' probabile che l'installazione servirà per irradiare le medicine (e contaminare la popolazione araba locale). Infatti, i nostri lettori forse non lo sanno, ma da decenni si irradiano le medicine che compriamo in Farmacia "per farle durare di più". Come accade per il cibo, niente in proposito viene riportato nelle etichette (dosi di radiazioni assorbite, controindicazioni). Gli effetti? Chi lo sa, mai "studiati" fino in fondo.
