Annual Report July 2016 – June 2017 Bangladesh Atomic Energy Annual Report July 2016 – June 2017 Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission Introduction Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission (BAEC) was founded in February 1973 through the promulgation of Presidential Order 15 of 1973 with the objective of promoting peaceful applications of nuclear energy in Bangladesh. By this time BAEC emerged as the largest organization for scientific and technological research especially in the field of nuclear energy in this country. The essentially goal-oriented research & development (R&D) programmes in physical sciences, biological sciences, engineering sciences and nuclear power field have been undertaken in the light of the overall need of the country so that the outcome of the activities can be directly contributed for socio-economic betterment. Programmes of BAEC are chosen in a manner so that the priority, aspiration and needs of the country are amply reflected in their execution. Notable services of BAEC include modern nuclear medicine services to mass people, specially to the poorest section of the society, protection of public health and the environment through radioactivity monitoring of all imported food items, practice of safety culture against all kinds of radiation hazards, sterilization of medicine and medical equipment, food preservation, development of high quality polymer materials, chemical analysis of industrial products for QC purposes, chemical analysis of food and environmental samples for protection against pollution, industrial NDT and material testing services etc. In the last few years, the BAEC has undertaken the challenge of implementing the Rooppur Nuclear Power Project (RNPP) as one of its highest priority task. The R&D programmes of BAEC are executed through its different institutes, centres and divisional laboratories equipped with state-of the-art facilities and installation. The major facilities include 3 MW BTRR, 3MV Tandem Accelerator Facility, 3MV Van de Graff Accelerator, Two Co-60 gamma irradiator, Central Radioactive Waste Processing and Storage Facilities, Nuclear apparatus and scanning devices in National Institute of Nuclear Medicine & Allied Sciences (NINMAS) and 14 Institute of Nuclear Medicine & Allied Sciences (INMAS) located at different district headquarters, Radioisotope Production Laboratory, Radioactivity Testing and Monitoring Laboratory, Beach Sand Minerals Processing Pilot Plant etc. Apart from R&D activities, the following divisions of BAEC are playing vital role in executing various programmes undertaken by BAEC. International Affairs Division (IAD): This division is playing a key role for maintaining liaison with many foreign countries and international organizations particularly International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) with a view of transferring the technology as well as developing human resources in the field of nuclear technology.

Wahidul Alam* and Mohammad Zafar Institute of Marine Sciences and Fisheries, University of Chittagong, Chittagong-4331, Bangladesh *Corresponding author’s e-mail: [email protected] [Received: 16 October 2012, Revised: 15 November 2012, Accepted: 15 December 2012] ABSTRACT This study was carried out to examine the presence of Salmonella spp. in soil and water sample along with some physio-chemical parameters of water at the Karnafuli river estuary during March-June 2012 from 3 stations. The ranges of measured parameters of water samples were 26.5- 32ºC, 0.0 – 5.0‰, 7.5 – 7.9 and 2.28 – 2.91mg/l for temperature, salinity, pH and dissolved oxygen (DO), respectively.. In the present investigation, it was observed that the values of physio chemical parameters in the estuarine area were fluctuated seasonally. Water temp, salinity and pH were within acceptable range according to EQSB and guidelines value of WHO but the concentration of DO decreased significantly indicating the deterioration of estuarine environment including water quality and soil conditions which are influenced by higher bacterial growth in the polluted estuarine zone. Maximum Salmonella spp. concentrations were observed 5cells/ml in soil from one station (St-1) out of 3 total sampling stations during the month of May. The occurrences of Salmonella spp. was not found many of the stations they were absent.

  • Tidal Prediction for Complex Waterways in the Bangladesh Region
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Aquatic Procedia 4 ( 2015 ) 532 – 539 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON WATER RESOURCES, COASTAL AND OCEAN ENGINEERING (ICWRCOE 2015) Tidal Prediction for Complex Waterways in the Bangladesh Region Linta Rose* and Prasad K. Bhaskaran Department of Ocean Engineering and Naval Architecture Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur Kharagpur-721 302, India Abstrac The navigational aspects of marine transport and its manoeuvrability require precise knowledge on tides. Information on time varying water levels, magnitude and direction of tidal currents is quite critical in coastal waterways and estuarine environment. Real-time water levels along with other hydrodynamic parameters are used in almost all major ports for effective operations throughout the year. Also various coastal engineering projects require precise information on site-specific water level elevations. There is a rapid expansion of coastal infrastructure in the recent times, and therefore it is very essential to have reliable water level prediction system that caters the need for coastal engineers, port and harbour activities etc. The Sea Level Processing Package (SLPR2) developed by the University of Hawaii Sea Level Center in collaboration with National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) provides reliable estimate of location specific sea level information. SLPR2 performs three primary tasks that include tidal analysis and prediction, quality control, and filtering. Harmonic tidal analysis using linear least square produces the relevant tidal constituents of a specific region. High frequency data (preferably one-hour duration) for a minimum duration of one complete year would suffice the tidal analysis phase in SLPR2. The tide prediction algorithm used in the present study uses a maximum of 68 harmonic constituents.

    Impacts of Sea Level Rise on the Coastal Zone of Bangladesh Masters thesis of Md. Golam Mahabub Sarwar [email protected] ☼ Supervisor Patrik Wallman, Ph D [email protected] Lund University International Masters Programme in Environmental Science L U M E S Lund University, Sweden 2 1 N O V E M B E R 2005 ABSTRACT Impacts of sea level rise on Bangladesh were assessed using secondary sources. The study revealed that a one meter sea level rise will affect the vast coastal area and flood plain zone of Bangladesh. Both livelihood options of coastal communities and the natural environment of the coastal zone will be affected by the anticipated sea level rise. It will also affect national and food security of the country. The Sundarbans, the most important ecosystem of the country will be totally lost with one metre rise in sea level. Mitigation and adaptation are two options to minimize the impacts. A combined effort of Bangladesh Government, Bangladesh’s people and International communities is emerge need to survive.
