Mr. Nurlan Kapparov presented a renewed strategy of the company’s development. According to him, as of now Kazakhstan is responsible for 40% of uranium produced globally.
May 29 RosAtom and KazAtomProm signed an MoU on cooperation to construct a nuclear power plant relying on Russia-made pressurized-water reactors capable of 300-1200 megawatt.
KazAtomProm, including its stakes in other companies, produced a total of 11 900 tons in 2012 (over 20% of global production). In 2011 the Company produced 11 079 tons.
According to the KazAtomProm’s Press Service, Kazakhstan retains its title of the uranium production leader as it supplies about 37% of uranium to global markets.
KazAtomProm is Kazakhstan's major exporter of uranium and its compounds, rare metals, nuclear fuel for nuclear power stations, special equipment, technologies and dual-usage materials.
The agreement was signed by KazAtomProm’s (National Nuclear Company) Chairman Vladimir Shkolnik and Peter Spuhler, CEO and owner of Stadler Rail Group.
