To create public interest in science and technology and to create awareness about the safety of nuclear technology and its versatile use, Information Center on Nuclear Energy (ICONE) in Dhaka hosted a “Nuclear Tent” program for general public at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Novo Theatre recently.

The program was a part of celebrating Bangla New Year-1429 and was supported by Ministry of Science and Technology (MoST) Bangladesh, Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission (BAEC) and Russian State Corporation ROSATOM.

The day-long Nuclear Tent program included road-side public interaction, doodling on canvas, distribution of informative leaflets, booklets, science-based quiz competition and games among others.

Most active participants and winners of competitions were awarded with attractive souvenirs. Over 200 people from all ages participated in the activities.
