Role and Responsibility of Atomic
Energy Commission:
The Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission has the
tradition and experience in research and development activities in Nuclear Science and
Technology and other related fields over three decades R & D in the field of peaceful
uses of atomic energy has offered a wide range of opportunities for the application of
this frontier science in various fields of economic development, including power
generation, health and medicine, analytical chemistry and materials development, materials
testing and quality control, preservation of food and other essential products, radiation
processing technology for quality products, process control and instrumentation,
environmental studies and many other fields of applied and fundamental research .
The primary objectives of
BAEC are-
|
Promotion of the peaceful uses of atomic energy in agriculture , medicine and industry development of related technology like electronics, computer, material sciences etc. |
|
Planning, implementation and operation of nuclear power station . |
|
Service in the sterilization of medical products, food preservation , non-destructive testing , elemental analysis , hydrology etc . |
|
Discharge of international obligations . |
Present Condition of Nuclear Facilities in Bangladesh
Present Status:
Both sealed and unsealed sources of radioactive
materials and radiation producing devices are being increasingly used both in the private
and public sectors.
The important Nuclear Facilities at present condition are-
|
A 3 MW TRIGA MARK` research reactor installed in 1986 at AERE,Savar for carrying out R&D activities and production of certain short-lived radioisotopes . |
|
A 3 MeV positive ion Van de Graff accelerator (VDG) installed in 1964 at the Atomic Energy Center , Dhaka (AECD) for R&D activities. |
|
A 14 MeV neutron generator installed at AERE, Savar for R&D activities. |
