#1 Meanwhile, the large gas reserves in Bangladesh remain untapped due to reluctance to sell it to the primary regional customer - India.

UNOCAL left in disgust and frustration.

Bangladesh politicians would rather forgo the revenue stream. They prefer to leave the gas in the ground than sell it to India.

#2 Bangladesh is underwater most of the monsoon season. It is not a good place for a reactor.

#4 Wonder what arsenic in the cooling water does to the nuclear reaction?

All kidding aside, the only reason that Bangladesh is on the Chicom's horizon has to be a strategic position against India, one-China nonsense, or natural gas. The Chicoms do not go into sh*tholes unless there is something there for them.

#5 The ChiComs are postioning to steal the river that runs out of the mountains to Bangladesh. At one time they were talking about a PlowShare type action to move a mountain out of the way and properly redirect the river to China.

#6 At least they are probably asking for a pebble bed reactor. Those cannot be used to make nuclear material, cannot meltdown, and are pretty close to idiot-proof. The Chinese are planning to build literally hundreds of them.

NB: The nuclear material is intermingled with ceramic into balls, each of which rests like eggs in a carton. They give off a fixed amount of heat for a fixed time, with very little supervision, then they are just disposed of as medium-level waste. In China, they are just dumped down a mine shaft.
