Nuclear Power Plant in Bangladesh and The Much Talked About Rooppur Project
Bangladesh is a land of about 16.5 core people. So, high population, industrialization and urbanization demands huge electric power. The government of Bangladesh now is in troublesome condition to provide huge electricity. The government of the country has already taken some necessary steps like hydroelectric power plant, coal based power plants, gas based power plants, oil based power plants and some power plants of renewable sources. But those are not sufficient according to the demand. That’s why government is trying to introduce first nuclear power plant. “I believe it fulfills the nation’s dream,” Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said this after laying the foundation stone of Bangladesh’s first nuclear power plant on 2 October 2013 in Rooppur, Pabna. Some debate has already begun against this power plant. But to resolve energy crisis of Bangladesh government should introduce modern (generation 3+ VVER-1200, VVER TOI) nuclear power plant.
