Bangladesh

Bangladesh is a signatory of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and has signed and ratified the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT). It is one of the 44 listed countries needed to sign and ratify for the CTBT to enter into force.
 
Bangladesh currently operates three small research reactors but still has hopes to build the Roopur nuclear power plant at Ishwardi in Pabna, lacking the funds to do so. They are seeking soft loans and help from China, and in April 2005 signed a nuclear cooperation agreement with them.
