Earlier, Kazakhstan commenced official negotiations with shortlisted potential suppliers of nuclear power plant technology.
The referendum on the construction of a nuclear power plant in Kazakhstan was held in October. According to the final results, 5 561 937 citizens, or 71.12%, voted in favor.
At the referendum, Kazakhstanis had to answer the question "Do you agree with the construction of a nuclear power plant in Kazakhstan?" There were two answer options: "Yes, I agree" and "No, I do not agree."
