Abstract
This work focuses on the topic of nuclear power as a necessary solution for Bangladesh's electricity scarcity. The government of Bangladesh has initiated the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) project for two units with a capacity of 1200M1. We each in order to meet the rising demand for power. Bangladesh views nuclear energy as a means of achieving economic and social growth and technical advancement, energy security as well as lowering greenhouse gas emissions to avert environmental disasters like climate change. According to the Power System Master Plan from 2016, nuclear energy is expected to account for almost 10% of total electricity generation by 2041, when total electricity generation is expected to reach roughly 60,000 MW. This power arrangement will enable us to graduate to a developed nation in 2041 and assist us meet our development plan's SDG goals by 2030.
