Completion of Boron Flushing at Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1
Boron flushing of the primary circuit at Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant's unit 1 has been completed in 81 hours, marking a significant milestone ahead of fuel loading scheduled for April 2026. This step is critical for the upcoming first criticality test, confirming the unit's readiness for the next phase of commissioning.

The successful boron flushing of Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant's unit 1 was completed in 81 hours, enabling progress toward fuel loading next month. This operation is essential before the crucial first criticality test and subsequent physical startup.
The Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission and Rosatom are involved in the reactor's development, with construction initiated in November 2017. The first nuclear fuel batch was delivered in October 2023, coinciding with the site's nuclear facility designation. Ongoing commissioning processes will continue to follow strict regulatory oversight.
