Nuclear plant: Safety first!

Professor M Zahidul Haque, Dean, Faculty of Agriculture, SAU, Dhaka
Bangladesh is heading towards commissioning nuclear power plant. It is true that power generation from nuclear plant is much cheaper but extreme safety measures are required to keep a nuclear plant protected against accident; be it natural or man-made. We should take lesson from the recent nuclear power plant disaster in Japan. Experts say decommissioning of Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant will take nearly a half-century! Bangladesh government should keep it in mind while going ahead with nuclear power.
