Kazakhstan has selected Russia's Rosatom and China's CNNC to lead the construction of its first nuclear power plants, marking a return to nuclear energy after a 26-year hiatus. This decision follows a national referendum where nearly 70% of voters supported nuclear facilities, backed by President Tokayev. The project aims to reduce reliance on coal and meet future energy demands sustainably, featuring advanced reactors and creating jobs. Kazakhstan's strategy involves balancing relationships with both Russia and China in its nuclear ambitions.
