The best world
technologies should be used in the construction of a nuclear power plant in
Kazakhstan. To achieve this, the project may be undertaken by a consortium of
at least five countries. This assumption was expressed by Kazakh
First Deputy Prime Minister Roman Sklyar during a government briefing. He noted
that the nuclear power plant consists of several facilities, and therefore, its
construction requires careful preparation. For example, it takes up to 1.5
years just to develop design and estimate documentation in the world practice.
Overall, it is still early to discuss the details, Sklyar emphasized.
«Various companies - subcontractors for the
construction of this plant will be involved; such global experience exists. One
country can build the nuclear island, another can provide the turbine, a third
country can supply indoor switchgear, and so on. All this will yield positive
results, so we should not focus on a single supplier or contractor, but rather
create a consortium, which, as practice shows, works most effectively,» said Kazakh
First Deputy Prime Minister Roman Sklyar.
