Kazakhstan has every opportunity to develop nuclear energy - PM

"We are making the first steps towards developing nuclear energy. In June we have adopted a new program of energy development, which involves the establishment of Kazakhstan's first nuclear power plant. The tragic events at the Japanese nuclear power plant Fukushima give us new experience to think about the development of the sector. Nevertheless, we believe that Kazakhstan has every opportunity to develop this sector of energy," Massimov noted.

Kazakhstan has everything it needs for production, consumption and transit of energy. "Lessons from Fukushima teach us to create safe energy sector in the world, in particular in Kazakhstan," the Premier emphasized.
