Kazakhstan will be the sole owner of the first nuclear power plant after the completion of the facility, the Atomic Energy Agency of Kazakhstan announced.
“The Republic of Kazakhstan will be the owner, operator and producer of uranium raw materials, as well as the owner of all technological processes of the future nuclear power plant“, the statement said. A consortium led by the Rosatom corporation is being created to build the facility.
Maximum localization is envisaged at all stages of construction. “We understand that we are talking about large-scale investments in the economy of Kazakhstan. And I can say with full responsibility: the risks of dependence on Russia in matters of nuclear technologies are minimal - practically non-existent. "All this is fixed in the contract," says the chairman of the agency, Almasadam Satkaliev.
