Asif Parvez has written an opinion piece for The Financial Express (Bangladesh) titled Nuclear power plant, a visible option for starved Bangladesh.

The teaser for the article reinforces that assumption. As Ukraine prepares to mark the 25th anniversary of the Chernobyl…
While reading a report titled Strategic Research Agenda published by a European organization called the Sustainable Nuclear Energy Technology Platform, I found a graph that I plan to use in many online debates. At the risk of incurring a take down notice, I will publish that graph here for ready reference.
