As part of the first stage, it is planned to drill at least 50 wells with a depth of 30 to 120 meters. Based on the data obtained, the exact location of the nuclear power plant will be determined.
Near the Ulken village in Kazakhstan, the preparation of design documentation and determining the optimal construction area of the first nuclear power plant in the country has begun. It reports about it Orda.kz.
Russian State Corporation leader joined the launch of the job Rosatom Alexey Likhachev and the head of Atomic Energy Agency Kazakhstan Almasadam Satkaliev.
Currently, drilling the first reconnaissance properly and the selection of soil samples has begun. According to the representatives RosatomaThese studies will allow to evaluate seismic resistance, hydrogeological features and other territorial properties required to ensure safe design.

Engineering training lasts about 18 months. At least three alternative sites within the Zhamamyl district of the Almaty region will also be reviewed.
The preparation work is carried out by a subsidiary Rosatoma – AO atomenergproekt – in collaboration with Kazakhstani organizations. Studies include a detailed geological study of geological, seismic, hydrological and technological properties of the territory.
According to Almasadam Satkaliev, the construction of a nuclear power plant could cost $ 14-15 billion. They plan to send another $ 1 billion to infrastructure and social facilities near the station. An estimated technical and economic reasoning should be prepared in December 2025.
