Nuclear power
In a bid to reduce the present energy crisis the government has signed MoU with Russia for setting up a nuclear energy project in Ruppur. Similar MoUs were also singed with the USA & China prior to that. Going by the present activities, it is evident that the government is determined to set up a nuclear energy project. My concern is, can Bangladesh handle a project like that considering its high risk factors, radioactive waste management, technical know-how and last, but not the least, fund sourcing?
The government and others concerned should judge the feasibility of these projects considering facts which are embedded in our socio-economic realities. Otherwise, the country may face a hazardous situation.
