A five-day expert mission of the
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is underway in Astana. International
experts and representatives of regulatory bodies from Türkiye, Pakistan,
Belarus, and the IAEA will discuss measures to prepare for the construction of
a nuclear power plant. The mission also includes a review of the regulatory
framework, infrastructure development, and effective regulation for the
implementation of the nuclear energy program. Sharing experience with foreign
colleagues will enable the country to incorporate international best practices.
«This mission will strengthen our bilateral cooperation not
only with the IAEA but also with the regulatory bodies of other countries. It
will help us understand how to conduct licensing, inspections, and permit
issuance specifically within the nuclear power plant construction project.
Previously, we carried out similar missions, but they were more broadly focused
on Kazakhstan’s existing nuclear industry,» noted Kanat Tuyakbayev, Head of the
Division, the Kazakh Ministry of Energy.
