The General Director of Kazakhstan Nuclear Power Plants JSC, Timur Zhantikin, announced the cost of building a nuclear power plant in Kazakhstan.
“The cost of building the first plant would be between US $10 billion and US $15 billion. The sources of funding currently being explored are mainly international financial institutions,” Zhantikin said.
“The project is still considered commercial, without government intervention, and has its own conditions,” he added.
Earlier, IAEA experts approved the construction of a nuclear power plant in Ulkin.
Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Energy stated that the final decision on the establishment of a nuclear power plant would be taken on the basis of the results of the popular referendum.
