Bangladesh is suffering from acute shortage of electricity and power. The development of the country, industrialization of Chittagong, Khulna, Dhaka, northern districts and export processing zones are hampered due to the low electricity generation. As an average it is estimated that Bangladesh is loosing out almost 1 percent of its GDP growth to this nuisance.  Bangladesh is also suffering from shortages of almost 220 mmcfd of gas against the demand of 2200 mmcfd. The coal extraction is also being hampered due to the nasty politicization by some so called save oil and gas committee. In this situation the country has no alternative but to go for the Nuclear energy for getting it self out of this misery. China and Russia showed their keen interest to construct Nuclear Power plants in Bangladesh. South Korea even wanted to pay 60% of the cost for the construction of a nuclear power plant. Bangladesh should take upon this opportunity and start constructing 3/4 nuclear power plants for augmenting its power and also for future electricity use. It will help the future generation from the shortage of electricity and help its industry to a great extend.
The country could take the public-private investment initiative and start constructing the Nuclear Power plant within a very short time. The investors are ready and willing to help, all the country needs is a great will to succeed and to move forward.
