Introduction
Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission (BAEC) was
established in 1973 through promulgation of Presidential
Order 15. Main Functions of BAEC includes:
Research and development in peaceful applications of atomic
energy
TRIGA
Generation of electricity
Reactor
Promotion of international relations congenial to implementation
of its programs and projects
The program’s and projects of BAEC now focus on Health,
Industries, Agriculture And Environment

Regulatory>
REGULATORY INFRASTRUCTURE>:
The Nuclear Regulatory Body of Bangladesh
A Authority called Bangladesh Atomic
Energy Regulatory Authority (BAERA)
is working effectively as the Secretariat
for the Regulatory Body for performing
all regulatory activities under the
BAERA Act- 2012 .
Chairman, BAERA is the head of the
Regulatory Body.The BAER Act-2012 has established the regulatory provisions on safety & security of radioactive/nuclear materials, nuclear safety, physical protection of nuclear material and installation, safeguards and import & export control, SSAC, transport and waste safety, transport of radioactive/ nuclear materials, emergency preparedness and response. The issue of nuclear liability and coverage has been covered in the draft in the light of Vienna Convention on civil liability for nuclear damage.
Regulatory Authority under the BAER
Act 2012
An Act entitled “Bangladesh Atomic Energy Regulatory
Act-2012” has been drafted on the basis of IAEA
Handbook of Nuclear Law and existing NSRC Act-1993
with consultation of Russian Federation and IAEA.
30 May 2012 this act (Bangladesh Atomic Energy
Regulatory Act-2012) has been passed by the National
Parliament.
16In parallel, work is being accomplished for the development of necessary regulations for timely issuing permits/licenses for the siting , design, construction, export and import of goods and services required for the supply of equipment, materials for the nuclear power plant commissioning and operation. Bangladesh is actively considering signing of bilateral agreements with nuclear regulatory body of vendor country and international body for joint analysis and development of regulatory documents for implementation of NPP in Bangladesh. Continued IAEA help and cooperation will be needed in this regard.
Some Key Elements of the BAER Act-2012 Establishment of Independent Regulatory Body Authorization Process Radiation Protection Safety and Security of Radioactive Materials Nuclear Safety Physical Protection of Nuclear Material and Installation; Safeguards and Import and Export Control State System of Accounting for and Control of Nuclear Material (SSAC) Transport and Waste Safety Emergency preparedness and Response Nuclear liability and coverage, etc. 18
Division of Nuclear Safety, Security & Safeguards:
Recently BAEC Created “Division of Nuclear Safety, Security &
Safeguards” to conduct the following activities:
Obligations under NPT & Non Proliferation Treaties including
Establishment of State Systems of Accounting and Control
(SSAC)
Implementation & Enforcement of Safety, Security & Safeguards
Legislations
Relevant Safeguards Procedures
Physical Security of Nuclear Materials
In Addition, this Division will Look after all the conventions/
Treaties, those already sign and take necessary steps to sign
the conventions/treaties required for implementation of NPPSafety Committees BAEC TRIGA Research Reactor has following important Safety Committees: AERE Radiation Safety & Control Committee. AERE Nuclear Safety And Safeguards Committee . AERE Research Reactor Operation and Utilization Committee.

PSMP-2010 also proposes addition of another 2000 MW from Rooppur
nuclear plant as follows:
1000 MW by 2025
1000 MW by 2030 37Historical Background 1961-70 Nuclear power was identified as a feasible and viable proposition for Bangladesh (former East-Pakistan). Rooppur was selected as a site for NPP (70 MW, 140 MW, 200 MW) and Pre-feasibility studies were conducted. 1971: Independence from Pakistan. 1977~78 Feasibility studies were conducted by Sofratome, France and viability of Rooppur NPP (125 MW) was confirmed. Postponed in light of cost-effectiveness

Presidential Order 15 of 1973 mandated Bangladesh Atomic
Energy Commission (BAEC) to do the needful in connection
with the introduction of NP programme in the country.
The Bangladesh Nuclear Power Action Plan (BANPAP) of
2000 and the National Committee on Rooppur NPP (2010)
headed by the Hon'ble PM authorized BAEC to implement
Rooppur NPP until otherwise decided by the Government.
Very recently, an ADP Project has been started under MOST
for the implementation of the Rooppur NPP project.
It is expected that in course of time a government owned
Company will emerge under BAEC to work as the operator of
the Rooppur NPP.

Bangladesh Government is doing the
needful to embark on the Rooppur NPP
project through bilateral cooperation with
Russian Federation.
The matter of development of NPP
related legal documents as stipulated in
the BAERA Act- 2012 is under progress.
61Bangladesh seeks support and cooperation of the IAEA, the identified vendor country and all relevant national and international stakeholders for successful implementation of RoopPur NPP Project in time. Steps have been taken to develop national cyber network infrastructure to make connectivity with ANSN knowledge pool for dissipation and sharing of information knowledge and experience in the field of nuclear safety. IAEA and ANSN help and cooperation is needed to strengthen nuclear safety in the country for its existing facilities and future nuclear power plant.
Thank you very much for your kind attention…
