Amit Srivastava Greetings from India! We support Bangladesh in this endeavour. Nasirullah Mridha, USA Energy-starved Bangladesh needs more power plants but extra cautionary measures are must to operate this plant. Fukoshima reactor disaster is still haunting the Japanese people. Saleh Tanveer Russia is not exactly known for its safety standards. However, it has vast amount of land so that if and when a disaster strikes, it can decide to pull people out of a 30 mile disaster zone. We hardly have this luxury. With people falling on top of each other, and a culture of not paying attention to details, where are our people going to shift when a disaster strikes? Our current leaders have made this critical decision arbitrarily that may impact generations to come with the stroke of a pen. They know fully well that by that time they will be long gone and out of power and can blame others for potential disasters.
