Rosatom has launched engineering surveys in Kazakhstan to select a site for the facility<\/strong><\/p>\n

State-owned Russian nuclear corporation Rosatom has launched engineering surveys to determine the site of Kazakhstan\u2019s first nuclear power plant. Project officials have described the undertaking as strategically important for the country\u2019s future.<\/p>\n

Despite Western efforts to squeeze Russian technology out of global markets following the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in 2022, Rosatom has continued working on projects while signing new contracts in multiple countries.<\/p>\n

In a statement on Friday, the corporation said \u201cengineering surveys to determine the optimal site and prepare design documentation for the future high-capacity NPP\u201d<\/em> were underway in Kazakhstan\u2019s Almaty Region.<\/p>\n

Rosatom CEO Aleksey Likhachev, who attended the launch ceremony, described the project as \u201cstrategically important for Kazakhstan\u2019s development.\u201d<\/em> Kazakhstan\u2019s atomic energy agency chief, Almasadam Satkaliyev, similarly hailed the undertaking as the country’s\u00a0\u201cstrategic choice and a driver of long-term regional and national economic growth.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

According to Rosatom, the nuclear power plant will feature Generation III+ VVER-1200 reactors, which have proven their value at multiple facilities in Russia, Belarus, Turkey, Bangladesh, Egypt, and China.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0facility is expected to become operational by 2036.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Kazakh authorities also announced plans for two additional nuclear plants, to be built by the China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC).<\/p>\n

Since January, Rosatom has signed cooperation agreements with Malaysia, Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso.<\/p>\n

The Russian state corporation is also building India\u2019s largest nuclear power plant, Kudankulam, where it is the only foreign contractor.<\/p>\n

In Europe, Rosatom began work on Hungary\u2019s second nuclear plant in 2014. The project had stalled due to US sanctions but resumed earlier this year after Washington lifted restrictions.<\/p>\n
