Despite the covid-19 pandemic, the construction work of the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant is in full swing with over 18,000 people working relentlessly to complete the project work as per the schedule.
In an interview with the Daily Sun, Director of the Russian Atomstroyexport (ASE) in Bangladesh IA Tupilov has shared different insights about mega project.
What are the latest updates on the construction of the Rooppur project?
The construction of the Rooppur NPP has entered its most active phase. General construction work is in full swing and is on track. Unfortunately, a small glitch occurred in April-June due to the pandemic. But starting in July, the pace of work began to grow steadily. We are starting to increase the number of personnel. While the average total number of people employed at the construction site in the past years was 12,000 people, today it has already exceeded 18,000 people. We plan to continue to increase the number of personnel and go to work in accordance with the schedule.
