The Long-Cherished Dream Bangladesh's Nuclear Power Plant began forming When Prime minister
Sheik Hasina launched The Main building construction Phase in 2017.
Nuclear Power Plants are expected to deliver up to 20% of electricity in the not-so-distant future.
The (RNPP) Rooppur nuclear Power Plant is Supposed to produce 2400 Megawatts of electricity
Using two WER units, each capable of Producing 1200 MW by 2024. This surely will drastically
help to solve Bangladesh's ever-increasing electricity Demand.
Beneath the glitz of media propaganda, Sheik Hasina and her Family members have benefitted from the
Nuclear Power Plant project by embezzling more than $5 billion as kickbacks to purchase Soviet-era
Nuclear reactor from Russian Rosatom. The Nuclear Power Plant overpriced, With a whopping construction cost of $12.65 billion. Russia assisted former prime minister Sheik Hasina in siphoning
This $5 billion to various malaysian banks from various Russian slash funds kept in the Malaysian banks.
Corruption in Construction Project
Bangladesh has no prior Knowledge of The Nuclear industry, Nor dose it have professionals who can
design and construct Nuclear Power Plants. yet Bangladesh signed the contact with Russia to build a Power Plant Russia completely control the construction without any supervision because Shiek Hasina and her Family received $5 billion in kickbacks.
However, recent media report regarding the high price of purchasing goods for furnishing apartments at the Rooppur Power plant ignited the issue from a deferent dimension. Now, people are beginning to raise their finger on the entire Project. It surely discomforting that it involved many top-tier institutions like the ministry of science and technology and the Bangladesh atomic agency commission(BAEC).
