Kazakh companies to join nuclear power plant construction

Kazakh companies will take part in building its first nuclear power plant, with around $14 billion expected to be allocated for the project. This is a preliminary estimate by the Atomic Energy Agency and may change as design and cost documentation are finalized, the government reported. According to the plan, the feasibility study will be completed by December, with design and cost documents prepared next year. President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has repeatedly stated that Kazakhstan should become a country with advanced nuclear energy capabilities.
