8. Our first Nuclear Power Plant (in Rooppur) is being built by ROSATOM from
Russia. With respect to present world nuclear market, ROSATOM is the best
vendor.

 9. As Rooppur nuclear reactor is a generation |||+ of 21st century, technologies are
advanced enough to protect from repeating accidents like TMI, Chernobyl and
Fukushima which were much older in design.

20. You know that, almost each sector of Bangladesh is incorporated with
corruption and almost every project of Bangladesh is implemented without
meeting the actual requirements because of corruption. But there isn’t any
probability of such kind of corruption in case of a nuclear power plant.

 21. Our indigenous energy sources, majorly gas, will be depleted in the near future.
To meet up the increasing demand of electricity, decision of constructing
Nuclear Power Plant taken by the Bangladesh government was right.
