Russia clears $11.38 billion for nuclear power plant in Bangladesh

[kobiraaz]

Well that is what happened last time. She won unopposed because the opposition was too scared to fight her, Queen Hasina indeed!

@arp2041
If she rules one more term Bangladesh will finally be free of remaining 8% Hindus. But her Govt will forge the statistics that hindus are 15% like It did this year.

When Zia rules She can be pressurized for Hindu persecution. But India cant question Hasina. Her party members in villages grabs equal amount of hindu lands than Zia's members or maybe more. I am not wrong ask any kolkatan who is aware of present Bangladesh.

And Yes I also support her now. BNP is dead. One party rule will only make us stable

We already had Nuclear industry. More than 50% components were sourced from Indian industries. While for Bangladesh its starting from a scratch. BD engineers must also be trained with. So its a long process.

I have come into touch of a group of Bangladeshi students who are only 20-22 years old and are studying nuclear science for a year in Russia. They are being groomed for the project..

Bangladesh has advanced so much! I first visited Bangladesh as a child during the 1980s and the country wIas in a poor state of affairs: poverty, loadshedding, etc. Now its economy is doing well. It's a totally different place now.

And your last visit in?

But way too risky country like Bangladesh with heavy floods could be a catastrophic event if nPlant struck by floods.

Yes we are prone to floods but not flash flood. As the north where the power plant is being built is entirely flat the flood is characterized by quiet rise of water level. People die from water borne disease but not flash flood. So The plant can easily be protected.

Cyclones mostly affect southern coastal region. Our only concern is an earthquake. Then it can happen in any place of planet earth.

About the construction cost to build a nuclear plant, please read the following excerpts from the NEA (Nuclear Energy Agency) of the USA:

The NEA figures for the 1990s must be treated with caution as they are not in line with some other data sources. The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) calculated that, in constant 2002 values, the realized real overnight cost of a nuclear power plant built in the USA grew from US$ 1,500/kW in the early 1960s to US$ 4,000/kW in the mid-1970s.

The EIA cited increased regulatory requirements (including design changes that required plants to be back-fitted with modified equipment), licensing problems, project management problems and mis-estimation of costs and demand as the factors contributing to the increase during the 1970s.

Its 2010 report, Updated Capital Cost Estimates for Electricity Generation Plants, gave an estimate for a new nuclear plant of US$ 5,339/kW.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I do not have any of the 2015 cost estimates. But, how much should be the capital cost to build two 1200 mW plants in 2016 onward? With reference to the above link, 2 power units. x (1200 mW x 1000kW) x US$5,339/kw = 2,400,000 kW x US$5339/kW = US$12,813,600,000 or US$12.813 billion.

Is it too far above the US$11.38 billion for Rooppur? The cost is high, indeed. But, it is more than compensated during the 50 year of its life cycle by a low fuel cost, which is only 11.3% of the plant running cost. Coal is 83% and gas is 73%.

Doctor @idune of Jamaat should not tie with Indians to degrade BD about the cost of a nuclear plant. It is not a toy that you buy from a shop for your son. So, do not try to EXPOSE awami leagures when they are not guilty. You are a doctor of many false inventions and exposes.

Are you @eastwatch?

I have checked @eastwatch profile. No, I am not the same person. Do his posts resemble mine?

Yes. You are not Jamati, You are not Shahbagi You are not Awami and You hate my islamic model. That makes you Eastwatch.

Yes. You are not Jamati, You are not Shahbagi You are not Awami and You hate my islamic model. That makes you Eastwatch.

I have a free mind and am a free thinker. At the moment I have no party affiliation. This is why I do not side with the party line. I am here to endorse anything good of the ruling or opposition party. I think BNP has been kicked out forever. This what is your thinking also, isn't it?

 

[Hello_Dhaka]

Great news!!!

 

[bluesky]

India paid 2.6 billion for the two 1000 MW reactors to Russia. Why BD paying way more? Steel prices are way down too.

Which project you are talking about? And in which year it was built? Please, instead of spreading gossips, like our enemy Jamaatis do always, send us a little detail.

 

[Aung Zaya]

good congratz..!! BD..

He is talking about Kudankulam nuclear power plant.

Since deal was signed around 14 years back so the low cost. Anyway we signed another deal with Russia for 2 more reactors on the same site which cost us ~6 billion USD in 2014( almost double than what we paid for same in 2002).

 

[Arsalan]

11.38 Billions US$ plus 12 billion Takka for two 1200MW plants?
There is something seriously wrong. It is way too much!

1200 X 2 reactors.
It is the total cost of the power plants not only the reactors. That include nuclear, mechanical, electrical, distribution, safety, water treatement, training and operating.

Ms. Hasina has been the God's Gift to BD........

She has done wonders for her nation.......

May she rule BD till the last breath of her life!!

By gods gift you mean what India.

 

[arp2041]

good congratz..!! BD..

Don't worry mate, we will give our Burmese Brothers more bigger, better & efficient reactors free of cost.......

Let us know if you want a nuclear submarine on lease from Russia.....we are in negotiations for one of the Akulas, Russians will surely not object to lease one more as India is brother of Russia & brother of brother is the brother in law.......

LOL... thz bro..
we're brother in deed..
actually we also already started our nuclear programme.. it would be next fews years.. we need help from u..
