Bangladesh enters nuclear energy era

Bangladesh moves a step closer to achieving its long‑cherished goal of generating nuclear energy this afternoon with the start of fuel loading into the reactor core of unit‑1 at the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant, marking the transition from the construction to the startup phase.With this milestone, Bangladesh is poised to join a select group of a little over 30 nuclear power‑producing countries and become the third South Asian country, after India and Pakistan, to generate nuclear energy.
