ASTANA, May 28 (Reuters) - Russia signed an agreement on Thursday with Kazakhstan to build the first nuclear power plant in Central Asia's largest country at a cost of about $16.5 billion, partially covered by a major export loan from Moscow.
Kazakhstan, the world's biggest producer of uranium and a country which suffered from the fallout from Soviet nuclear testing, has been discussing the possibility of atomic power for at least two decades.
A 2024 referendum returned a vote in favour of constructing a nuclear power plant and designated the village of Ulken, on the shores of Lake Balkhash in the southeast of the country as the site.
"The agreement signed today on the construction of the Balkhash NPP has an important role," Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, Kazakhstan's president, said before thanking Russian President Vladimir Putin, who was in Astana for talks, for his support.
