The Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant (Bengali: রূপপুর পারমাণবিক বিদ্যুৎকেন্দ্র) is a 2.4 GWe nuclear power plant project in Bangladesh. The nuclear power plant is being constructed at Rooppur of Ishwardi Upazila on the bank of the river Padma, about 160 km northwest of Dhaka.[6] It will be the country's first nuclear power plant, and the first of the two units is expected to go into operation in 2025.[7]
