Kazakhstan is planning to choose the reactor technology supplier for its first commercial nuclear power station in the first quarter of 2023, Timur Zhantikin, director general of Kazakhstan Nuclear Power Plants (KNPP), said.
In an interview with the Jibek Joly TV channel, Mr Zhantikin confirmed four suppliers are under consideration. They are China National Nuclear Corporation, France’s EDF, Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power and Russia’s state nuclear corporation Rosatom.
KNPP, the entity established to oversee the development of nuclear power plant construction in Kazakhstan is analysing the four offers, which “are about the same, but there are some nuances”, Mr Zhantikin said.
