“Off-shore floating nuclear power plant (OFNP)” is a new concept in the era of secured electric power generation process though the concept of “Floating Nuclear Power Plant” and “Off-shore Power Plant” is not a new concept. We have tried to give a view of the OFNP concept to immune the effect of earthquake, tsunami on the nuclear power plant for Bangladesh. A group of researchers throughout world is also doing project on this. Sitting on two mutual technology:  “light-water nuclear reactors” and “offshore oil and gas drilling platform”, this concept has a lot of aspects to reduce the effect of natural disaster. This concept describes simplified construction, low environmental impact, safety of the nuclear reactor, specialized facility of decommissioning, reliable cooling system, safely transmission of the electric power. As the demand of electricity is increasing in Bangladesh due to increased number of population, the government of Bangladesh is trying to introduce the new mode of electricity generation; Nuclear power. The concept of the OFNP might be best choice in this sector due to different factors and facilities. This paper shows the prospect of OFNP in Bangladesh.
