The Tubul River area is being considered for the construction of a third nuclear power plant in Kazakhstan.
Other possible sites include the Kurchatov region in the eastern Kazakhstan region and the Caspian Sea coast.
The Tobul region (the river flows in the Kostanay region bordering Russia) was considered in the KEGOC recommendation due to the availability of the required volume of cooling water, said the head of the Atomic Energy Agency Elmsdam Sutclive.
The station can use reactors of medium power, which will not only generate electricity, but also provide heat and desalinated water to areas.
