ASTANA, Kazakhstan, October 6. Kazakhstan needs
a consortium of leading global companies to build its nuclear power
plant, said President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, Trend reports.
In response to a media question about who would take on the
construction if the referendum results support the project, Tokayev
said,“It's not a straightforward issue. The government will need
to conduct a thorough analysis and enter into negotiations.
Personally, I believe an international consortium made up of global
companies with cutting-edge technologies should be involved. From
there, we'll see how things unfold.”
Voting in Kazakhstan's nuclear power plant referendum began on
October 6.
In 2023, the Kazakh Ministry of Energy announced four major
contenders for the project: China's CNNC, South Korea's KHNP,
France's EDF, and Russia's Rosatom.
