Under the deal, Areva will supply nuclear fuel for the first reactor core and a reload batch.
After completion, the JRTR will generate thermal power of about 5MW, which can be extended further to 10MW in the future.
France-based Areva said the power will be used for neutron beam research, neutron irradiation services like medical radioisotope production, and training of Jordanian engineers and scientists.
The company expects to start the delivery of the fuel elements in the beginning of 2015.
Areva senior vice president of the propulsion and research reactors BU Benoît Bazire said the company secured contracts in 2011 to supply DAEWOO with low enriched uranium and deliver prototype fuels to the KAERI/DAEWOO consortium.
