路布尔核电站项目可追溯到1960年代,最终于2015年与俄罗斯签署协议,由俄罗斯国家原子能公司合建并提供贷款。
(德国之声中文网)2.4吉瓦的路布尔(Rooppur)核电站是价值130亿美元的项目,施工时间超过10年。曾经沉睡的这个小镇如今则迎来许多俄罗斯工人以及新的就业机会。
全面完工后,两座核反应堆预期将提供孟加拉国10%的电力。该国有1.7亿人口,深受中东冲突带来的能源危机的冲击。
孟加拉国有核电站公司经理哈桑(Md Zahedul Hasan)表示,首座核反应堆将于今年底启用,第二座将于一年内可运作。
核电站位于帕德玛河畔,距离达卡150公里。孟加拉能源领域以化石燃料为主,特别是天然气。其余则是煤炭、石油以及可再生能源。
该项目与俄罗斯国家原子能公司合建。数千名俄罗斯工人已在这里建设、安装设备数年。这里有了一个俄罗斯社区,包括商铺、饭店等。
店铺的标牌用孟加拉语、英语、俄语三种语言。一些饭店可以提供罗宋汤。
一位俄罗斯安装技术人员斯科沃特索夫(Alexander Vladimirovich Skvortsov)表示,他可以选择在土耳其或孟加拉工作。他选择了这里,于2024年举家迁至此地。
核电站项目也改变当地的经济。28岁的可汗(Md Emon Khan)离开了在达卡制衣厂的工作,回到路布尔,如今向工人们卖蔬菜水果。“我能讲一点俄语,他们也会说孟加拉语。”
核电站官员称,采取了严格的安全措施,并吸取了过往核电站事故的教训。
15岁的纳费兹(Mohammad Nafiz)表示,他觉得没什么可怕的。“我们很高兴路布尔闻名全球,我和朋友们希望从工程院校毕业后能在核电站工作。”
但并非人人都这么有信心。80岁的阿里(Md Yunus Ali)住在离核电站走路15分钟的地方。他说,早在几十年前,就有人反对在人口这么密集的地区修建核设施。
“不久前,他们进行了一次压缩机测试,发出巨响,把熟睡的孩子都吓醒了。”
阿里是一位造纸厂退休工人。“我老了,自己倒没什么好怕的。但我有孩子有孙辈,我希望他们安全。”
在路布尔建核电站的想法最早可追溯到1960年代。孟加拉独立后,曾尝试与沙特阿拉伯、法国、中国、韩国合作,但均未达成协议。最终,孟加拉于2015年与莫斯科签署了协议。俄方提供贷款,可覆盖项目最初成本的约九成。
2017年开始施工建设。由于新冠疫情以及俄罗斯入侵乌克兰后受制裁导致的设备输送、支付款项困难,该核电站项目一再拖延。
此外,围绕该项目也出现有关腐败的指控,包括已下台的前总理哈西娜及其家族成员。他们否认相关指控。
对大多数孟加拉人来说,如今主要关心的是,路布尔何时可稳定供电。
55岁的农民贝古姆(Belly Begum)说,由于频繁断电,农田灌溉成了问题。“我希望路布尔核电站很快运营,我们就能全面受益。我希望能24小时供电不中断,因为核电站就在我家附近。”
