China's state-owned company -- Dongfang Electric Corporation (DEC) -- wants to build the proposed second nuclear power plant in Bangladesh.

A top official of the corporation said recently that the Chinese company had shown interest to build the second nuclear power plant which the government of Bangladesh is planning to set up.

"Bangladesh is our traditional market. We have constant communication with our Bangladeshi counterpart. But there is no promising result until now about the nuclear power plant," Vice President of Dongfang Electric Corporation (DEC) Hu Weidong told the FE while responding to a question at its head office in Chengdu, the capital city of Sichuan.

In November 2017, Bangladesh started the construction work of its first nuclear power plant at Rooppur of Pabna district.

Russia's state-owned nuclear corporation Rosatom is implementing the project at a cost of $ 12.65 billion.

According to Rosatom, the first unit at Rooppur is scheduled to go into commercial operation in 2023 while the second unit in 2024.

However, Bangladesh has already made a list of eight sites for building the second nuclear power plant. Of the eight sites, four are in Khulna, close to the Sundarbans, and four others are at Majher Char in Barguna, Gangamati in Patuakhali, Boyar Char in Noakhali and Muhurir Char in Feni....

I think that BD is likely to stick with the Russians for the 2nd nuclear power plant as the logistic hassle would increase if they went with China - unless China offered a very, very good deal.

That's why competition come into play. Best price and best technology.​

Chinese companies are willing to build even 100th nuke plant if someone is willing to pay

All these places are away from densely populated areas and are near the sea. Good for setting a nuclear power station.

Chinese are more reliable partner than Russians.
