S Jamil, T N Chowdhury, R Islam, engineering students at the University of Asia-Pacific, Dhaka, Bangladesh: Bangladesh, one of the populous countries in Asia suffers from energy shortages. Years of under-investment, lack of maintenance and perpetual resource supply problems have elevated the situation to crisis levels. National policy makers have expressed an interest in nuclear power as a source of stable electricity. Bangladesh's energy infrastructure is quite small, insufficient and poorly managed. The per capita energy consumption in Bangladesh is one of the lowest in the world.
