Nuclear Reaction Begins at First Unit of Bangladesh
A controlled nuclear chain reaction has begun for the first time at the first unit of Bangladeshs Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant, marking a major milestone in the commissioning of the countrys first nuclear power facility. The reaction, known as first criticality, began on Sunday afternoon, officials involved in the project confirmed. First criticality is the stage at which a nuclear reactor achieves a self-sustaining chain reaction, with neutron production sufficient to maintain continuous nuclear fission. However, reaching this stage does not mean that the reactor has started generating electricity. The next steps will involve completing the required safety and technical tests, gradually increasing the reactors power level and preparing for trial electricity generation and supply to the national grid. The Rooppur plant, located in Bangladeshs Pabna district, comprises two generating units, each with a capacity of 1,200 megawatts. Once both units become operational, the facility is expected to have a combined generation capacity of 2,400 megawatts. The post Nuclear Reaction Begins at First Unit of Bangladeshs Rooppur Power Plant appeared first on Energy Bangla .

Jammu (Jammu and Kashmir) [India], October 11 : Heavy rainfall triggered flooding in Bohri and Anand Nagar areas of Jammu, with water entering homes and roads becoming waterlogged, disrupting daily life and causing difficulties for residents.

In a social media post accompanying a video of the flooding, Gurung said security personnel, including helicopter teams, had been mobilised to the affected areas for rescue, relief and evacuation operations.

Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, October 10, 2026: Dermatologist and hair transplant surgeon Dr Mir Shahnawaz has received the REACH Research Award in Saudi Arabia for his research on exosome-containing formulations in male pattern baldness. The award was conferred by Dr Shadi Zari, President of REACH Academy, under the REACH Research Awards on Regenerative Hair Restoration and Regenerative Aesthetics. The honour was accompanied by a research prize of SAR 10,000. Dr Shahnawazs study compared an exosome-containing formulation with autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in men with androgenetic alopecia, commonly known as male pattern baldness. His work contributes comparative clinical evidence to an emerging area of regenerative medicine, examining how newer formulations perform alongside established approaches to hair restoration. Dr Shahnawaz is the founder of Dermis Skin, Laser & Hair Transplant Clinic in Bemina, Srinagar. Alongside providing dermatology, laser and hair restoration services, he continues to pursue research that addresses questions relevant to everyday clinical practice. The international recognition marks a meaningful milestone in his research journey and a proud moment for Kashmirs medical community. It also highlights the contribution of Indian clinicians to global scientific discussions on regenerative medicine. From Srinagar to the international research stage, this achievement reflects Dr Shahnawazs continuing commitment to advancing hair restoration through clinical inquiry and evidence-based practice.
