A nuclear plant for what was then East Pakistan was proposed in 1961, and Rooppur village was selected as the site in 1963. Bangladesh and Russia signed a framework agreement on peaceful nuclear cooperation on 21 May 2010, and a general engineering, procurement and construction contract with Rosatom followed on 25 December 2015. The design is two VVER-1200 pressurized water reactors supplied by Atomstroyexport. Construction of Unit 1 started on 30 November 2017, and Unit 2 on 14 July 2018 with its first concrete pour.
