Ruppur / Rooppur ?

Which spelling of the name is correct? Or are they both valid transliterations of the Bengali name?
—WWoods (talk) 19:12, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In old times (before 1950 ) 'oo' was used for 'u'. As Bhutan was written before like 'Bhootan'. So, both 'Ruppur / Rooppur ' are good translation, but in this time, its more appropriate to use 'u' instead of two o's. Also, in google map, the place is written as Ruppur as well.Parvez gsm (talk) 21:27, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The question is not how it should be written, but how it is written officially by the Bangladesh Government. The Bangladesh government has been using "Rooppur" instead of "Ruppur", which is, in my opinion, better because it matches the the pronunciation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Apollo1987 (talk • contribs) 14:19, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The effects of the US sanctions on russia on the nuclear power plant

Since russia invaded Ukraine the sanctions put on them have been tough but for us bangladesh a bigger thing is will they be able to finish the reactors or will the sanctions prohibite them from doing so, if so what happens to the power plant does it lay dormant? 45.248.151.143 (talk) 18:33, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As is now obvious hopefully .. the only "problem" is how will Bangadesh pay back the loan. Russian nuclear industry is pretty unique in being an (almost) completely in-house affair. They use their own control systems, own piping, everything. The only "non-russian" components present would be those which Bangladesh wants/provides. And even those the Russians can subsitute by in-house ones.83.240.63.220 (talk) 18:28, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Suggesting Removal of Content that is Irrelevant, Poorly Sourced, and Not Well Researched

The fourth paragraph in the 'Corruption' section says that Russia bribed political elites in every country where it constructed nuclear power plants. However, the cited source only talks about potential corruption in South Africa and makes no mention of Bangladesh or any other countries. In fact, the entire paragraph focuses only on South Africa. Therefore, I believe this paragraph is irrelevant to the Rooppur Nuclear Project and should be removed.

The fifth Paragraph is not needed anymore since the third one covers the detailed response of the Russian side.

One of the cited article in the last paragraph on Corruption is about India's influence on Bangladesh and does not contain anything about the Rooppur Nuclear Project which suggests that an incorrect source was referenced. Another cited source, Jago News, says that the site that made embezzlement claim lacks evidence. The part about Chinese cost is poorly researched as it does not contain enough details about the contract to make proper comparison. What I mean is that the entire paragraph is disorganized, and that's why I believe it should also be removed.

I also propose creating a new section about costs to compare the cost of the Rooppur Project with similar projects. Fuad-nse-03 (talk) 21:19, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. I've made part of the suggested changes (which I deemed not contentious) before seeing your proposal. Basically the whole section is devoted to allegations published on some website with dubious credibility and related more to local political infighting than to the power plant. As for the costs, China has thriving nuclear and construction industry as well as highly qualified but still cheap workforce which cannot be said about Bangladesh at this moment (but it may be the case in the near future, who knows). Gdygdy (talk) 22:30, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I just made some of the changes I suggested about earlier, and a few new ones. Feel free to add any new info or make corrections. Fuad-nse-03 (talk) 22:01, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edits Regarding Rosatom and ACC Investigation

I removed a statement regarding Rosatom's potential actions if the investigation begins, as the cited sources only contained financial audits from 2021 and 2022 and did not address what could happen in the future.

I created a new subsection to include recent information about the ACC investigation. While the previous editor accurately reported on the investigation, the cited source included an incorrect figure, which I have now updated with more better sources. Additionally, I relocated the information about the ACC investigation to this new subsection to minimize clutter in the "Allegations of Embezzlement" section, thereby enhancing the overall organization of the article.

Update on Cost Estimation and Disbursement Details for Rooppur NPP Project

Changes Made:

Cost Estimation Update:

The construction cost has been updated to reflect the most recent information, which states the cost as "$12.65 billion (estimated)." This data was sourced from The Business Standard and has been cited appropriately. The word "Estimated" was included to align with the source's wording.

Disbursement Details:

Added information about the funding disbursed by Russia for the project so far:

The Annual Report 2023-2024 of the Economic Relations Division (Bangladesh) states that $7.30 billion had been disbursed by the end of FY 2023-2024.
Additionally, The Business Standard reports that, as of August 14, 2024, the total allocation by Russia was $7.33 billion. This more recent figure was used in the "Economics" section.

Note on Data Conversion in Economics Section

In the Economics section, the total cumulative expenditure was originally reported as 6492570 lakh taka in the two citations. For better readability, this figure was converted to 64,925.70 crore taka in the Wikipedia article. The conversion is mathematically accurate and aligns with common practices for reporting large sums of money in Bangladesh. I forgot to add this to edit summary, so I am clarifying what I did now.
