Russians to build nuke plant in Bangladesh
2011-02-27
What could possibly go wrong?
Russia has agreed to build energy-starved Bangladesh's first nuclear power plant, which will generate a total of 2,000 megawatt of electricity.

Bangladesh's decades-old gas-fired power plants are unable to generate enough electricity for the country's 150 million people. Businesses complain that the shortages interfere with production.

Bangladesh's Ministry of Science said Russia will train staff to operate the plant, supply uranium rods and take back the spent fuel.
That sounds like the package they sold to Iran, not a good omen...
The Bangladesh nuclear deal is the latest of a string of global agreements to build new reactors, driven by concerns over the long term prices of oil and gas, as well efforts to cut carbon emissions.
