Nuclear power generation
The setting up of atomic power station has become the crying need as the people of Bangladesh are facing many problems over the years due to the shortage of power generation. Power generation has become the key index for the continuous development of a nation. For example, we can cite China where the production of power generation is doubling every year and the country has already secured the position of the 2nd largest economy after USA. Needless to say, power generation ensures the rapid growth of production and hence takes the pivotal role to boost the GDP of the country. According to statistics, Bangladesh is a country having only 3000 to 3500 MW power generation but our demand is more than 5000 MW. The deficit of power generation is around 3,000MW.There is no controversy that power sector is the driving force for the continuous development of a country, especially for a least developed country like Bangladesh. Considering the projected demand, it is advisable for the govt to step onwards for setting up the atomic power station. The recent visit of foreign minister Dr. Dipu Moni to Russia will open a new horizon of bilateral relationship between Bangladesh and Russia. As a least developed country, Bangladesh would be benefited in different ways. Making the frame-work deal with Russia, setting up of an atomic power station would be possible and that would contribute to lessening load shedding as well as meeting the projected demand of the country.
