Russia’s state-run nuclear power corporation has completed the installation of the reactor pressure vessel at Bangladesh’s first atomic power plant, marking a significant step forward in the country’s efforts to develop its nuclear power industry.
Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and Rosatom director general Alexey Likhachev launched the final stage of the installation of the reactor pressure vessel at the Rooppur nuclear power plant in Ishwardi district on October 10. Hasina joined the ceremony from Dhaka via video conference.
India’s Hindustan Construction Company has bagged a $110 million contract for civil works at the Rooppur plant in a joint venture with Bangladesh’s MAX Group. The Indian company holds a 40% share in the joint venture.
