A number of global nuclear power plant builders are interested to bag contracts after the government has initiated the process of building the second nuclear power plant in southern region.
Some Chinese firms have already submitted proposals early this month to state-run Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission (BAEC) showing their interest to build the proposed plant.
Alongside Russian contractors, other Asian and European nuclear power plant manufacturers are looking at the opportunity, said a senior Commission official.
China State Construction Engineering Corporation and Dongfang Electric Corporation have already talked with the Commission to construct the planned nuclear power plant.
The government, however, is cautious about advancing work with the second nuclear power plant.
