Such a breakthrough in power generation can only be achieved through the introduction of nuclear power in Bangladesh's power generation system. On the other hand, a nuclear power plant produces very little greenhouse gas, so it is much safer.
Literature Review
Grace Hilliard wrote a thesis paper named “A New Day for Nuclear The Impact of Nuclear Energy and Its Effects” for his honors program
The aim of the thesis is to examine the role of nuclear energy in the energy system of the future. The future role of nuclear energy, especially in the Nordic region, is considered, and a carbon-free Nordic energy system is modeled using different scenarios.
The Statement of IAEA Director General
The model and literature are used to determine the mix of power generation in the Nordic power system in 2050. Two 1000 MW(e) units (WWER-1000) will be built with a Russian supplier in Lianyungang in Jiangsu Province.

Consequently, due to scarcity of natural gas, oil and coal resources, nuclear power surfaces as a palatable strategic option for Bangladesh's future development agenda. In addition, the development of nuclear energy is also confused due to the complex nature of fission technology, lack of efficient human resources and the non-existence of proper legal instruments to guide safe nuclear power production. Moreover, the further challenges include the questions, for example: whether the nuclear power plant project is supported by the mass people or not.
In February 2011, Bangladesh reached an agreement with Russia to build the 2,000 megawatt (MW) Rooppur nuclear power plant with two reactors, each producing 1,200 MW of power. The nuclear power plant will be built at Rooppur, on the banks of the Padma River, in the Ishwardi sub-district of Pabna, in the north-west of the country. In order to accelerate the overall development of the sector, in 1998 the energy sector was transformed into a separate energy department in the Ministry of Energy, Energy and Mineral Resources.
To meet the needs of electricity consumers, we produce as much electricity as possible according to capacity during the peak hour of the day. Moreover, most power plants are gas-based, which will be gradually phased out in the future.
Environmental Feasibility of Nuclear Energy

- Coal impacts: air pollution
- Reducing Air Pollution by Using Nuclear Energy
- Coal impacts: water pollution
- Global warming
- Impact to land and surroundings:-
- Safety Risks and Perceptions
- Deaths per TW. yr
- Decreasing stock of primary resources
- Conventional Energy Sources
- Co2 Emission in world
Coal combustion is the largest contributor to the man-made increase in CO2 in the atmosphere. Some of the methane produced is absorbed by the coal and is later released from the coal seam (and surrounding disturbed layers) during the mining process. Strip mining severely alters the landscape, reducing the value of the natural environment in the surrounding land.
What happens to the land surface after mining depends on the way in which the mining is done. Prior to this, minor earthquakes became more frequent and coal mining in the area was temporarily suspended. A major health hazard would occur, for example, if a significant portion of the radioactive stockpiles in the core of a nuclear reactor were released into the atmosphere.
These days one of the biggest concerns of the world is the emission of greenhouse gases. These gases raise the temperature of the atmosphere by trapping the heat radiated from the earth making the world a vulnerable place to live.

Three UN organizations – IAEA, FAO, World Health Organization (WHO) – with the governments concerned are promoting new SIT programs in many countries. Plant mutation breeding is the process of exposing seeds or cuttings of a given plant to radiation, such as gamma rays, to cause mutations. Radiopharmaceuticals, techniques such as radiation therapy for the treatment of malignant tumors, teletherapy for ontological treatment or radiological biology for the sterilization of medical products are used.
The short range of highly energetic alpha emissions in tissue means that much of that radiation energy goes to the targeted cancer cells once a carrier, such as a monoclonal antibody, delivers the alpha-emitting radionuclide to just the right places. Hospitals use gamma radiation to sterilize medical products and supplies such as syringes, gloves, clothing and instruments that would otherwise be damaged by heat sterilization. Being a 'cold' process, radiation can be used to sterilize a range of heat-sensitive items, such as powders, ointments and solutions, as well as biological preparations such as bone, nerves, skin, etc., used in tissue grafts. .

Examine brain abnormalities in patients with certain symptoms or disorders, such as seizures, memory loss, and suspected blood flow abnormalities.
Economic Feasibility of Nuclear Energy
Economic Feasibility Term
Nuclear energy is cost competitive with other forms of electricity generation, except where there is direct access to cheap fossil fuels. Fuel costs for nuclear power plants represent a small proportion of total generation costs, although capital costs are higher than those for coal-fired power plants and much higher than those for gas-fired power plants. System costs for nuclear power (as well as coal and gas-fired generation) are much lower than for intermittent renewable energy.
When assessing the economics of nuclear energy, full account is taken of the costs of decommissioning and waste disposal. The construction of nuclear power plants is typical of major infrastructure projects around the world, the costs and delivery issues of which are often underestimated.
Cost Estimation
Cost per kW-hour Rate
High heat value of Uranium
Due to the high calorific value of uranium, we can obtain more energy at a lower price with less fuel consumption. Which will at the same time give more energy and reduce costs and do less harm to the environment. It can be seen that the source of nuclear energy - natural uranium can provide about 10,000 times more energy than crude oil - the second largest supplier of heat value.
The difference in the heating value of uranium compared to coal and other fuels is important as it directly affects the amount of waste that each fuel produces.

France gets about three-quarters of its electricity from nuclear power; Hungary, Slovakia and Ukraine get more than half from nuclear power, and Belgium, Sweden, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Switzerland, Finland and the Czech Republic one-third or more. South Korea typically gets more than 30% of its electricity from nuclear power, while the US, UK, Spain, Romania and Russia get about one-fifth of their electricity from nuclear power. Japan is used to relying on nuclear power for more than a quarter of its electricity and is expected to return to somewhere close to that level.

A step of building a nuclear power plant called Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant (RNPP) is being taken by the government to meet this dire need. Bangladesh planned to put two Russian nuclear power reactors into operation (Rooppur-1 & Rooppur-2). In these unique circumstances, nuclear power plants can be the best choice for Bangladesh for a tremendous amount of power generation[13].
The structure of a nuclear power plant in the western part of the country was first proposed in 1961. The latest technology was used in the Rupur nuclear power plant: the name of the reactor is VVER-1200, the pressurized water reactor (PWR) has been used. Due to its perceived advantages, nuclear power has again attracted the interest of policy makers, energy planners, utilities and investors.
According to international law, the area of a nuclear power plant must be at least 30 km. In a nuclear power plant there may be no greenhouse gas emissions, but it emits a lot of radioactive particles. Bangladeshi specialists advocated the innovation of unit-6 of Novovoronezh NPP to be duplicated in Rooppur in view of its safety highlights. Its facility in central Russia is considered the safest nuclear power plant in the world.
In this way, in the case of Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant, Bangladesh needs the most elevated digital security framework.
DISCUSSION
CONCLUSION
It is very important for the development of Bangladesh to provide electricity to the people at reduced cost. The demand for electricity is also now increasing rapidly. Now, taking into account the knowledge of Nuclear power and the experience gained during a service time of about fifty years of functioning of nuclear power stations in various parts of the world, it is obvious to say that power generation from nuclear sources is a sustainable development. One can conclude that with the current modern technology in this field, it is quite competitive compared to other means of energy production on a large scale.
Thus, it is imperative that Bangladesh uses nuclear energy as an alternative, safe and cheap source for large-scale electricity production.
Recommendation for Future
Recommendation
Energy consumption in future of Bangladesh, 2041
In 2009, Bangladesh produced 38 billion kWh of gross electricity from around 6.1 GWe of plant, which gives a consumption per capita of 250 kWh/yr. Electricity demand is rising rapidly, with a peak demand of 7.5 GWe, and the government aims to increase capacity to at least 7 GWe by 2014, importing around 250 MWe of electricity from India in the meantime. New small coal plants are envisaged for 2 GWe of that, and for 3 GWe more by 2016.
However, about half of the population is without electricity, and the other half regularly suffers from power outages. The government gave formal approval to a succession of power plant proposals, after which, after independence in 1980, a proposal for a 125 MWe nuclear power plant was approved but not built. With demand and network capacity growing since then, a much larger plant seemed feasible, and the government expressed its firm commitment to build this Rooppur plant in 1999.
