The director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the president of Russia are anticipated to attend the handover ceremony when nuclear fuel will be given to Bangladesh for its first nuclear power plant in September.
The Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission is carrying out the $13 billion project with assistance from Russia on both a technical and financial level.
Prior to the delivery of fuel, the IAEA visiting team must assess and certify safety precautions and crucial infrastructure, such as power transmission lines and telecommunications.
The state-run uranium mining and nuclear fuel production business TVEL of Russia and the Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission have a contract for the import of nuclear fuel for the plant.
Each time a single unit needs to be refueled, it will cost $62 million and require 30-35 tonnes of uranium.
A smartphone app called “Surja Bidyut” was created by the Institute of Fuel Research Development at BCSIR to assist consumers in installing solar panels conveniently and without harassment or fraud.
After 72 hours, the software will be accessible in the Google Play Store and allow users to execute maintenance duties, install solar power systems, and get support for issues that arise after installations.
