Rooppur nuclear project
This Project was planned in 1960-61, but it was not implemented. At the moment there is no need to implement it because we have enough gas to support energy generation . Moreover, the cost of per unit electricity from a nuclear plant is more than double the cost from a thermal plant. Again, nuclear businesses is very dangerous.
I urge the government to install a 200 MW combined cycle thermal power plant as the gas network is going to the northern region. There is a pilot project in Cox's Bazar since 1975, which is useless and fruitless. I humbly request the minister of finance and planning and also the minister of science, information and communication technology to look into these matters.
