Name of the Project
Rooppur nuclear power plant (NPP).

Location
Ishwardi Upazilla, 160 km from Dhaka, in Bangladesh.

Project Owner/s
Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission (BAEC).

Project Description
The Rooppur NPP will comprise two VVER-1200 reactors with a total capacity of 2 400 MW.

Potential Job Creation
Not stated.

Capital Expenditure
$12.65-billion.

Planned Start/End Date
Unit 1 is scheduled for completion in 2024 and Unit 2 in 2025.

Latest Developments
World Nuclear News has reported that the tests for tightness and strength of the containment building at the NPP have been conducted successfully.

During the process, a compressor was used and the pressure was increased to the design value of 4.6 kgf/cm2 and a series of tests was carried out to "confirm the tightness of the structure and its ability to withstand internal loads that occur in abnormal conditions".

The reactor's hermetic enclosure is "a physical barrier made of prestressed reinforced concrete with an internal sealing steel lining. It is designed to prevent the release of radioactive substances into the environment in the event of an emergency and to localise them, as well as to protect against possible external influences. The enclosure serves as the last protective barrier in the event of a hypothetical accident,” Rosatom has explained.

Key Contracts, Suppliers and Consultants
Various divisions of Rosatom are in charge of manufacturing reactor vessels, steam generators, pumps, heat-exchangers and other equipment.
