india is building nuke plant one after another right across the border with russian technology. Those who are trying tn feel safe by spoiling our venture are living in fools paradise. Nuclear falliage does not care abnut the barbed wire fencing on the border.

Finally, after waiting for more than 5 decades, we are going to have a nuclear power plant. The way our economy is expanding we will certainly need many more in the near future.

Dhaka, Moscow sign 5-yr nuke co-op deal
Bangladesh Friday signed a 5-year 'Framework Agreement on Cooperation in the Field of the Use of Nuclear Energy for Peaceful Purposes' with Russia, thus paving the way for building nuclear power plants (NPPs) in the country to meet the growing power demand, reports UNB.

Architect Yeafesh Osman, State Minister for Science and ICT, signed the agreement on behalf of the Bangladesh government, while Sergey Kiriyenko, Director General of State Atomic Energy Corporation (Rosatom), signed on behalf of the Russian Government.

Foreign Minister Dipu Moni, who held talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Moscow, witnessed the signing ceremony.

As per the agreement, the future cooperation between the two countries would include, among others, design, construction and operation of nuclear power and research reactors; nuclear fuel supply, taking back the spent nuclear fuel and nuclear waste management; personnel training and capacity building for operation and maintenance of the plants; research, education and training of personnel in the Russian Federation in the field of the use of nuclear energy; development of innovative reactor technologies in accordance with IAEA safety requirements, nonproliferation of nuclear weapons and environmental protection; and exploration and mining of uranium and thorium deposits. According to the agreement, the parties will assure the transfer of materials, technologies, equipment and services for implementation of joint programmes in the field of the use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. The parties will establish a Joint Coordination Committee to control the implementation of this agreement.

After the signing of the agreement, Director General of Rosatom Sergey Kiriyenko, who is the former Prime Minister of Russia, expressed his full support and commitment for establishing nuclear power plants in Bangladesh.

A high-level delegation from Russia will visit Bangladesh soon to take forward next steps in implementing the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant Project.

The Foreign Minister and the State Minister for Science and ICT spoke about the determination of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's government to build NPPs in meeting the rising power demand.

The Bangladesh delegation also had an official meeting with State Atomic Energy Corporation, Rosatom, on May 19.

The State Minister for Science and ICT emphasised the need for nuclear power option in meeting the increasing power shortage and the election pledge of the present government on the nuclear power project.

Bangladesh side requested the Russian authorities to assist in establishing two nuclear power plants with the capacity of 1,000-MW each.
Nikolay Spasskiy, Deputy Director General (International Cooperation) of Rosatom, termed Bangladesh as a strategic partner of Russia. He emphasised that nuclear energy is the best choice to meet the growing energy needs in Bangladesh.

Spasskiy appreciated that Bangladesh has good number of scientific and technical personnel, and the socio-economic condition of Bangladesh is suitable to go for Nuclear Power Plant Project.

Both the countries agreed that the signing of the agreement would be followed by the subsequent inter-governmental agreements on technical and financial aspects.

The agreement was signed for a five-year term with possible tacit extension every five years.

"We are working fast to achieve our goals. Only a year ago we signed a memorandum, and now we are signing the agreement. I am confident that we will continue to work as fast and efficiently as now," Kiriyenko said during the signing ceremony.

Rooppur is a place long earmarked for a nuclear power station since Pakistan time, in 1963 during the time of President Ayub Khan. 254 acres (103 ha) of land was acquired at that time that remained vacant until the GoB gave contract to the Russians only a few years ago. It is 87 miles (140 km) west of Dhaka, in the northwest of the country.

It is very near to the Padma river in Bherama-Pakshi region where there is Hardinge Railway Bridge (1800m long steel truss bridge) built during British time. There is a highway bridge near Hardinge Bridge across the Padma built a few years ago.
