Study on Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant (RNPP)

Abstract

This study was undertaken to study on ‘Rooppur Nuclear Power Project (RNPP)’ as a part of power crisis in our country. Day by day population is increasing and also power demands are also increasing. Government is trying to meet up the power crisis in Bangladesh by taking various steps but it’s still not satisfactory to ensure uninterrupted quality power supply to the electricity consumers. Nuclear power is desirable in Bangladesh, due low per capita fossil fuel reserves and socio- economic realities. Nuclear power will diversify the primary energy sources required for energy conservation as well as it will reduced pressure on the traffic system as fuel requirement of nuclear power plant is very low. The purpose of this paper is to introduce nuclear energy, prospect of nuclear energy in Bangladesh, need of nuclear power plant and other necessary steps ot establish a safe , efficient and economically and socially beneficial nuclear power plants.
