Tripartite agreement on Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant a good start: Experts RAFIQUL BASHAR / RITU SHARMAIndian nuclear experts see the tripartite agreement between India, Russia and Bangladesh to cooperate for the construction of the Rooppur Nuclear power Plant as a start in the right direction and contend that it would strengthen India’s case for entry into Nuclear Suppliers’ Group (NSG) as well. The work on the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant, the first nuclear plant for Bangladesh, began last year. India and Russia have a comfort level working on the Kudakulam Nuclear Power plant and collaboration of Rooppur will take it further. Professor Syed sees this development of indigenous capability as a means to bring down costs of setting up nuclear power plants. Cooperation cannot run for a long time and the sooner we take control of the nuclear power plant, cheaper it will be.
