Jordan subcritical assembly (JSA) is the first nuclear facility that is easily operated with parts that are easily accessible for demonstration and inspection purposes. It is designed to be used for educational and training purposes for the nuclear engineering students at Jordan University of science and technology to give the students the opportunity to perform experiments and measurements to many reactor parameters in a highly inherently safe system and to familiarize them with the fission process in the nuclear reactor with minimum exposure to radiation since it is designed and verified using MCNP5 nuclear code to never reach the criticality with the value of the effective multiplication factor (𝐾eff) of 0.95923
