Many Jordanians, including environmentalists, residents in the north of Jordan where the plant will most probably be based and the parliamentary energy commission have been opposed to the nuclear option, fearing for safety and questioning its economic viability.
Estimates of the cost of the nuclear plant range from $5 billion to $20 billion. Western diplomats say the bill will be closer to $12 billion, while Toukan has privately told diplomats that it will be about $8 billion.
No one has answered where a resource-poor country like Jordan, with a huge debt, can come up with this amount of money unless foreign countries are involved, in which case there is always a price, many fear.
