Astana, 24 January: Kazakh Prime Minister Daniyal Akhmetov has stressed the need to build an atomic power station in the country.
"The Energy [and Mineral Resources] Ministry's most serious task is to prepare the feasibility study of the construction of an atomic station in Kazakhstan. We should deal with this task," the prime minister said, speaking at a government meeting in Astana today.
"It became clear today that the dragging out of this process is one of the problems that will hamper industrial and innovation development," he stressed.
In connection with this, Akhmetov instructed the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry "to set up a working group to study the problem and submit proposals within the first quarter of this year".
