Hello friends welcome to our channel Social life
you are watching our special series Shonar Bangla and this is Episode 11
Today's topic is Rooppur nuclear plant Bangladesh
and also an important announcement is to be made.
so friends please stay till end
iam Ahaan you are watching Social life let's begin!
Since a long time Bangladesh was trying to construct nuclear power plant
but due to land acquisition, construction cost and safety issues this plan got postponed
Finally on 30 Nov 2017 construction of nuclear power plant started.
This plant is being build in Rooppur village which belongs to Pabna District
which is around 150km away from Dhaka
The purpose of this nuclear plant is to increase power generation capacity of Bangladesh.
Friends in Bangladesh there is power crisis
and to meet the required demand of energy Bangladesh imports power from other countries.
After completion of this nuclear plant it could generate 2.4 gigawatts power
and it will have two nuclear reactors
where each generates 1.2GW
and total nuclear generation capacity is 2.4GW
Friends first nuclear reactor is scheduled to complete by 2023
and second reactor by 2024.
Russia's Rosatomic state energy corporation ltd is constructing this nuclear plant
and India is also helping Bangladesh to build this nuclear plant.
On march 2018 India signed a pact with Russia and Bangladesh
to help in construction and installation in non critical area
along with this IAEA which is international Atomic energy agency is assisting Bangladesh to build nuclear plant.
This nuclear reactor type is PWR
which is pressurized water reactor system which is mostly used in worldwide
Once this nuclear plant is constructed
Bangladesh will become 32nd country to have nuclear power generation.
And after completion of plant
Russia's state company Rosatomic energy corporation ltd will operate this nuclear plant for first year
and then they will transfer to Bangladesh for operating
and Bangladesh atomic energy commission which was formed in 1963 will operate this nuclear plant
The life span is expected to be 60 years
Now let's see estimated cost of this nuclear project.
Friends Total cost of this project is estimated to be 12.6 billion dollars
out of which 90% of the funds will be invested by Russia
and remaining 10% Will be invested by Bangladesh.
This loan should be repaid by Bangladesh in 20 years
Coming to construction progress
The project is progressing rapidly
and recently this project achieved a milestone
by constructing concrete structure friends it is a basic structure which is completed
and This is good achievement
if progress happens with same speed then by 2023 nuclear reactor will be in operation.
We hope this project will complete soon
and also Bangladesh gain many benefits with it.
