Residents living near the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant in Ishwardi, Pabna, have expressed growing fears about safety as the facility nears operation. Many locals, including fishermen and families in nearby villages, worry that radiation or heat from the plant could make the area uninhabitable. Rumors about health risks and livestock loss have spread, deepening public unease. Some residents said they have not received clear communication or awareness programs from authorities about safety procedures or emergency plans.
Experts and project officials, however, insist that the Rooppur plant incorporates multiple layers of modern safety systems.

The plant’s management stated that awareness programs have been launched to educate local communities and that international safety standards are being followed under IAEA oversight.
Officials acknowledged that maintaining a strong safety culture and skilled management will be crucial for the plant’s long-term safe operation, emphasizing continuous improvement and transparency in safety practices.
