Russia has delivered the first batch of nuclear fuel to the Rooppur nuclear power station construction site in Bangladesh.
Russia’s state nuclear corporation Rosatom is general designer and general contractor for the two-unit station, on the eastern bank of the Ganges River about 160 km from the capital Dhaka.
Moscow is supplying two VVER-1200 pressurised water reactor (PWR) units for Rooppur under a general contract signed in 2015.
