ALMATY (Reuters) – Kazakhstan votes in a referendum on Sunday on whether or not to construct its first nuclear energy plant, an concept promoted by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev’s authorities because the Central Asian nation seeks to section out polluting coal crops.

The plan, nevertheless, has confronted public criticism due to its hazards, the Soviet nuclear testing legacy, and fears that Russia will probably be concerned within the mission.

“I have come to the conclusion that the decision to build the nuclear power plant, and to build it with (Russian state nuclear firm) Rosatom, has already been made in (Tokayev’s office) and the people of Kazakhstan are being invited to polling stations as ‘notaries’ to authenticate this decision with their votes,” well-liked blogger Vadim Boreiko wrote.

Regardless of having sizeable reserves, the Central Asian nation of 20 million depends totally on coal-powered crops for its electrical energy wants, supplemented by some hydroelectric crops and the rising renewable power sector.

Kazakhstan is already importing electrical energy, largely from Russia, as its amenities, a lot of that are aged, battle to fulfill home demand. And coal is usually thought to be essentially the most polluting power supply.

SOVIET LEGACY

The federal government says a dependable power provide is required to complement renewable sources resembling photo voltaic and wind energy, and, since Kazakhstan is without doubt one of the world’s largest uranium producers, nuclear energy is a logical alternative.

“In order not to remain on the sidelines of global progress, we must use our competitive advantages,” Tokayev stated days earlier than the vote.

The previous Soviet republic, nevertheless, doesn’t enrich uranium to the purpose the place it may be used as gas. The cupboard estimates {that a} nuclear energy plant would price $10 billion-$12 billion to construct.

Critics say the identical objective may be achieved with gas-powered crops which, though they nonetheless use fossil gas, are a lot much less polluting than coal crops and include much less danger.

Kazakhstan was a part of the Soviet Union in 1986 when the Chornobyl nuclear catastrophe occurred, and tens of 1000’s of Kazakhs took half within the subsequent clean-up operation which left many with lifetime well being points.

The nation was additionally the positioning of tons of of Soviet nuclear weapon checks which have made massive swathes of land uninhabitable, brought on quite a few ailments amongst individuals in close by areas, and have brought on many individuals to turn into distrustful of something nuclear.

“One should not always look back, remember the bad things, and complain,” Tokayev stated of such sentiment. “(We must) only move forward and be optimistic, otherwise we will lose in this global race to progress.”
