DHAKA, Oct 5, 2023 (BSS) - The Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant (RNPP) today received the nuclear fuel to produce electricity at a function at its site as Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and Russian President Vladimir Putin virtually joined it. The nuclear fuel is being produced by ROSATOM's associate company TVEL Fuel. Once the nuclear fuel is loaded into the power plant's reactors, power can be produced for one year. The reactor is the main component of a nuclear power plant. Bangladesh got the licence for nuclear fuel import and storage at the Rooppur project after fulfilling all necessary requirements under the IAEA's guidelines.
