The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Mohamed El Baradei has warned that up to 30 countries including Bangladesh could have the technology to develop nuclear bomb "in a very short time".
This is the funniest thing I have heard in recent times. Bangladesh has only one 20 year old research reactor and a neutron generator for research purposes and a 42 year old Graff accelerator. (source) The latest I have heard that Russia and China are trying to sell some small scale nuclear power plants and Bangladesh do not have the fund to buy them.
I think that the country has other things to ponder as a latest Oxfam report says that the Bangladesh government is falling behind on millennium development goal in providing basic health and education services.
