Why the hell in this world would we transport the nuclear waste 2000km to BD border from mainland India/South India and dump it over there ?

This is a pretty big article. So only posting the relevant part.

India dumping nuclear waste in Bangladesh

India dumping Nuclear waste In Bangladesh

India now envisages increasing the contribution of nuclear power to overall electricity generation capacity from 2.8% to 9% within 25 years. By 2017, India’s installed nuclear power generation capacity will increase to 10,080 MW. As of 2009, India stands 9th in the world in terms of number of operational nuclear power reactors. Indigenous atomic reactors include TAPS-3, and -4, both of which are 540 MW reactors. India’s US$ 717 million fast breeder reactor project is expected to be operational by 2012-13.

Each year thousands of tons of nuclear wastes are released from the nuclear power plants, dumping of which is one of the biggest challenges. Since 2001, India has started exporting its nuclear wastes by mixing the same with ash from the thermal power stations. Bangladeshi cement manufacturers alone imports more than five hundred thousand tons of fly ash from India and produces fly ash mixed cement.

The whole concept was first initiated by a company named Holcim, which later successfully infected the idea into the brains of other cement manufacturers in Bangladesh. Through such notorious steps of Holcim and subsequently by other cement manufacturers in Bangladesh, most of the newly constructed domestic and commercial buildings in the country are now becoming slightly or significantly polluted with nuclear contamination, which not only poses huge threat to human lives but also puts substantial threat to the very environment of the country. India also is exporting its nuclear wastes to some other neighboring nations as well as countries in the African continent as well as in the Middle East either by mixing with thermal-power plant generated ashes or with other chemical compounds.

Fly ash and nuclear waste?
Are we finding an helluva combination here?

Because India always wants to screw her neighbors and have malicious intent. The list damages and harm that india did to us since 71 is endless. SO if indeed india do such crap, it won't come as a surprise to us bangladeshis.

For security purposes, no one will transport nuclear waste to other nations....

What is our BSTI doing?

 

[boltu]

What is our BSTI doing?

BSTI has become a worthless org.,they are busy taking cash under the table giving certificates over the table.

 

[notsuperstitious]

What is our BSTI doing?

Yeah, about time they checked on the standard of weekly blitz propaganda and the inability of BD educated people to tell BS like thousands of tonnes of nuclear waste per year in India's less than 5000 megawatt nuclear energy production when they see it

I'm not even going into India's radioactive cement, that I suppose everyone agrees is certified horsemanure.

 

[wild_fire1979]

All the ship breaking contracts BD takes on is having more long term effect in terms of lead exposure as opposed to the supposed fly ash mixed nuclear waste.

lolz..
But look! it's easier to improve the effectiveness of BSTI than to change India.

Don't worry Bangladeshis, this radioactive cement is not gonna make you any more retarded.

Correction .... not for Bangladeshi only for Jammati

P.S... Ok then be ready for nuclear mix cement ......

 

[Mattrixx]

Thats a news we should work on.Our govt planned to back its nuclear waste back in russia.But there r possibilities that other countries may give that to us secretly

 

[Icewolf]

Well, this is interesting news...
