The Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant is set to begin trial operations this December, confirmed Adviser Dr. Salehuddin Ahmed. He noted that Bangladesh had earlier requested Russia to launch the project in November, but Moscow indicated a December start. The plant has already received its fuel, and a team from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has provided recommendations, which are currently being implemented.
