I thought about the safe transport of the nuke fuel rods before too, Ctg highway is unsafe for trucks with chaler bosta... let alone being safe for nuclear fuel rods.
But you dont need Padma bridge to travel between Ctg and Pabna. Maybe he meant from Mongla port to Rooppur perhaps...

1) Not sure if BRAC is the largest but it is one of the best and the most trusted NGO
2) Padma does not even come close to being the longest bridge in the world
3) Our country lacks natural resources, coal is an alternative but not environmentally friendly. Nuclear is probably the cheapest form of fuel available although the setup cost is really high.
4) Nuclear fuel and waste is transported by specialized transport companies. Preferred method of transport is either rail, water or air (definitely not trucks)
