Atomic Energy Research Establishment (AERE) nuclear
research complex under the bangladesh
atomic energy commission (BAEC) located at savar,
40 km northwest of Dhaka city. After the independence of Bangladesh trained
manpower and other resources were very limited in the commission. There
was a proposal to establish a research complex to develop trained resource
persons. In 1975 substantial land was acquired for the purpose at Ganakbari,
Savar. The AERE is presently performing its functions through the following
institutions and divisions on its campus: Institute of Nuclear Science
and Technology (INST), institute
of food and radiation biology (IFRB), Institute of Electronics
and Computer Science (IECS), Nuclear Mineral Unit (NMU), Central Engineering
Facilities (CEF), Information, Publication and Public Relation Division
(IPPRD), AERE clinic, Central Administration Division (CAD), and Central
Finance & Accounts Division (CFAD). The outcome of these research programmes
has already proved commercially beneficial. Some private entrepreneurs
have shown keen interest in using these results for commercial purposes.
The infrastructure development works under AERE Phase II were started
in 1999 to create an Energy Unit, Central Engineering Workshop, and Central
Library.
