Introduction to BAEC

• Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission (BAEC) was
  established in February 1973 through the
  promulgation of the Presidential Order 15of1973.
• Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission came into
  existence in 1973 as a multidisciplinary
  scientific research organization with the prime
  objective of peaceful utilization of atomic
  energy.
• With this end in view, the BAEC, since its
  inception, has been involved in acquisition,
  development and application of nuclear science
  and technology for contributing to human welfare
  and economic uplift of the country.
• The BAEC has also been maintaining activities to
  setup Nuclear Power Plant for the production of
  electricity as environment friendly source of
  energy

Mission of BAEC

• Promotion of nuclear science and technology based
  fundamental and applied as well as advanced
  research programmes in various fields of
  physical, biological and engineering disciplines.
• Implementation of nuclear power programme
• Transfer of nuclear technology based services to
  various stake holders
• Application of nuclear technology in agriculture,
  industry, health and environment
