Kazakhstan will create a strategic uranium reserve for
nuclear power plants, which will be stored in the form of unenriched ore,
according to the Ministry of Energy. The country already produces finished
nuclear fuel. The construction of nuclear power plants will allow for the
efficient use of domestic resources to ensure internal energy supply. The Kazakh
President emphasized the need for building three nuclear power plants during
the National Kurultai (Congress). A detailed analysis will be conducted to
determine the locations for the second and third plants. Kazakhstan currently
ranks first in the world in uranium production, accounting for 40% of the
global market, and holds 14% of the world’s explored reserves of this metal.
