The document discusses the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant (RNPP) that is under construction in Bangladesh. It notes that RNPP will help meet Bangladesh's growing electricity demand and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Construction of the 2,400 MW plant began in 2016 and is being funded primarily by Russia. It will incorporate multi-layer safety and mitigation systems to prevent radiation exposure. The plant is expected to begin operations in 2022-2023 and provide clean, reliable electricity for 60 years. Nuclear energy can play an important role in Bangladesh's development by providing massive base load power without greenhouse gas emissions.

5)Conclusion.

5.  The nuclear power plant (NPP) has been contributing a significant
proportion to the world’s electricity supply.
 Sixteen countries depend on nuclear power for at least a quarter of
their electricity.
 November 2016, 30 countries worldwide are operating 450 nuclear
power plant.
 Presently, 60 more reactors are under construction in 15 countries.
 According to the World Nuclear Association, over 45 countries
around the globe are giving “serious consideration” to introducing a
nuclear power capability.
 Bangladesh has given the utmost priority on nuclear power plant.

6. A nuclear power plant (nuclear power station) looks like
a standard thermal power station with one exception.
The heat source in the nuclear power plant is a nuclear
reactor.
As is typical in all conventional thermal power stations the
heat is used to generate steam which drives a steam
turbine connected to a generator which produces
electricity.

7. # First Electricity Production:20
December,
1951 in Arco, Idaho, USA.
# First Commercial Use: June 26, 1954 at
Obninsk, Russia.
# Present Scenario:442 nuclear power
plant
units in 31 countries produce electricity
about 384 GW.
# Under Construction:66 plants with a
capacity of 65 GW are in 16 countries.

8.  Bangladeshis a country in South Asia.
 Rankingof Bangladeshin according to the following
factors:
Area :92th,
Totalarea: 147,570(km)2
Population:8th
TotalPopulation:164,669,751(+ Rohingas)
But weare the densest country so thereis a problem!!

9.  ELECTRICITY is the key ingredientfor socio-economic development of anycountry. Often per capita consumption
of electricityand energyis considered as one of the developmentindicationof a nation.
 But, in Bangladesh(inJune 2009)only around 47% of the population has access toelectricity.
 With graduallyincrease of power demand power generationshould be increased gradually
 NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS COULD BE THE BEST OPTION FOR BANGLADESH TO POWER PLANT FOR POWER
GENERATION.
 At present, electricity production in Bangladeshis mostly based on existingreserve of conventional energy
sources (such as fossil fuellike gas,coal, oil etc)will not be availableafter few years if the shortage power is
generated by only thatconventional sources.

10. Rapidly increasing electricity
demand
 Need huge amount of electrical
energy
Require alternative fuel

11.  1g of Uraniumonfissionwould
produceabout1MWofpower
perday
 Forthesame amountofpower,
it requiresabout3tonsof
coalor 2300litresfueloilper
day.

12. At present,Bangladesh is taking steps to built nuclear power plant .One ofthe mega project is
RooppurNuclear PowerPlant.
Discussions took place with the Canadian governmentin 1964 and 1966.
Discussions with the governmentsof Sweden and Norwaywerealso going on in those years.
However,no realprogresswas achieved.
Afterthe independenceof Bangladesh, the Governmentof Bangladesh started discussionwith
the Soviet Union in 1974, howeverno agreementwas reached.In 2001 the governmentadopted
a national Nuclear PowerAction Plan.

13.  In2009 the Bangladeshgovernment again started discussionwith
the Russiangovernmentand on 13 Februarythe two governmentssigned
a memorandum ofunderstanding.
 Rosatom saidthey would start constructionby 2013.
 In2013 a group ofBangladeshi scientists and the global diasporal voiced
profound concernover the safety and economic viability ofthe
plant. Several separate issueswere raised, from the unsuitability ofthe site
to the obsolescenceofthe VVER-1000 model proposed, questionable
financing arrangementsand a lack ofagreement with Russiaover nuclear
waste disposal.

14.  In 2016 ground preparation work commenced.The $12.65 billion
contract is 90% funded by a loan from the Russian government.The
two units generating 2.4 GW are planned to beoperational in 2023
and 2024. Rosatom will operate the units for the first year before
handing overto Bangladeshi operators. Russia will supply the
nuclear fuel and take back spent nuclear fuel.

15. Construction of the nuclear power plant has been divided
into two stages, including the preparatory and main
stages. The preparatory construction stage work was
carried out during 2015-2016. It included the construction
of amenities and office buildings, roads, security fences,
and storage facilities

16. The main construction works
include excavation works, the
pit water removal system,
development of pit for units one
and two, soil stabilization
works, and foundations for both
the reactor units.

17. # The Rooppur NPP incorporates the defence-in-
depth protection system, which is a multi-layer
protection and mitigation system. Any human or
man-made accidents can be mitigated using the
system ensuring safety to the environment.
# The system includes five layers of barriers,
which will prevent radiation exposure as well as
protect people and the environment.

21. 1) Overall, Nuclear energy can be beneficial for our
country.
2) Nuclear energy is indispensable: it is the only energy
able to produce base load electricity massively and
competitively without greenhouse gas emission.
3) The Rooppur nuclear power plant will help reduce the
harmful consequences of climate change since nuclear
power plants virtually do not generate any CO2 emissions.
