About Us 

Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission (BAEC) is the pioneer and mandated organization for the promotion of peaceful application of atomic energy in Bangladesh. The BAEC had started its endeavor with a small laboratory for conducting research on the usage of atomic energy in the areas of agriculture and medical sciences during early 60s. Theoretical and experimental researches on nuclear physics were institutionalized in the country through the establishment of Atomic Energy Centre, Dhaka (AECD) in 1964. For facilitating the nuclear development programs and related international responsibilities, Bangladesh became a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in September 1972. Thereafter, in February 1973, Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission (BAEC) was established by the Presidential Order (P.O.) 15 of '73, which had been replaced by the Bangladesh Atomic Energy Act, 2017.

Since its inception, Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission (BAEC) has been rendering multi-disciplinary research and services for the well-being of the people of the country through enhancement of science and technology and peaceful application of nuclear energy in human health, food, agriculture, education, industry etc. Areas of research and service rendered by the BAEC broadly include Nuclear Medicine, Radioactivity Monitoring, Health Physics, Radioactive Waste Management, Radio-Isotope and Radio-Pharmaceutical, Secondary Standard Dosimetry, Material Characterization, Tissue Banking and Development of Bio Martials, Use of Gamma radiation for Food Preservation, Food Safety, Environmental Pollution, Processing of Polymers, Trace-element Characterization, Agrochemical Residues, Isotope Hydrology, Elemental Analysis by Particle Accelerators, Chemical Analysis, Electronics, etc. Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission has the glory to have first IBM mainframe computer which was installed at AECD.

BAEC is one of the largest scientific research organizations in the country. Research and service activities of BAEC are being carried out in various establishments namely, Atomic Energy Research Establishment (AERE), Savar, Atomic Energy Centre, Dhaka (AECD); Atomic Energy Centre Chittagong (AECC), Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Allied Sciences (INMAS) located across the country.

Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission has also been entrusted with the responsibility of establishing the country's first nuclear power plant in order to make substantial contribution to the efforts toward meeting challenges of the growing demands for electricity as well as to ensure energy security for the future generation. As the promoter of the peaceful uses of nuclear energy, BAEC is committed to continuously enhance culture for nuclear safety and security and has the primary responsibility to protect the public, workers and the environment from undue radiation exposure.
