State minister for science, information and communication technology Yeafesh Osman said Wednesday that the agreement envisaged building a 2000 MW nuclear plant with two reactors.
He announced the decision at a press briefing at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Novo Theatre in Dhaka.
The state minister said in March that the plant shall be built to withstand 10-magnitude earthquakes.
On Feb 24, Bangladesh signed a framework agreement with Russia for setting up the power plant at Pabna's Rooppur, following parliament's approval on Dec 9 last year.
The state minister told bdnews24.com on Jan 8 that the work on the plant was expected to start by 2012.
