Background
It is well known to all that the present government is striving to solve the electricity crisis which has arisen from the shortage of electricity generation. The Necessity of Nuclear Power in Bangladesh
Necessity of Nuclear Power Plant in Bangladesh in now well recognized. Nuclear power is an Environmentally friendly and cost effective option for electricity generation. In this process there is no emission of carbon-di-oxide, a major factor for global worming and climate change that poses a killer threat to the whole of humanity. Nor it produces any harmful chemical that causes disasters like acid rain, depletion of ozone layer affecting bio-diversity. That is why this option is safe. From a nuclear reactor the amount of radiation released in the surroundings in 2000 years is almost equal to the amount of radiation absorbed by a patient exposed to X-ray machine for the purpose of medical diagnosis. Nuclear Power Plants involve very low fuel cost compared to the fossil fuel plants. The new generation nuclear reactors are more reliable and efficient than the earlier ones. New technologies have made them safer. |
