Human Resource development (HRD) and Management is one of the key nuclear infrastructure issues for any nuclear power program especially for a newcomer country. Bangladesh government has taken firm decision to establish a Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) and signed a General Contract to construct a NPP of 2400 MWe (two units of 1200 MWe each) at Rooppur under government ownership through technical and financial bi-lateral cooperation with Russian Federation. Both units are scheduled to be operational by 2024. As an embarking country, HRD has led to a vital issue for sustainability of Nuclear Power Program in Bangladesh.
