Abstract :
Energy is the prime need for the development of a country and its substantial economic growth. Over all forms of energies, nuclear energy is the most prominent, powerful and challenging energy source. Despite the effectiveness of this energy, its hazardous radiation effects can enormously be dangerous and destructive. Our study mainly focuses on the comparative overviews of nuclear energy aspects of Bangladesh, discussions on radiation effects on environment and living objects health. The paper also suggests some challenges to meet the probable future shortcomings of Nuclear Power Plant in Bangladesh.
