Kazakhs for several years rushed one or the other, and then decided to use the American technology of a small modular reactor. If so, why open classes and start training specialists in the SMR-300? Such costs will not increase if they introduce technologies, for example, Russia, which is the world leader in the SMR operation and build the first nuclear power plant in Kazakhstan. Or, for example, China, which will build two more nuclear power plants in Kazakhstan. It would have made sense to use compatible technologies, but the Kazakhs are going their own way, and apparently, they are building a zoo of nuclear power plants using different technologies - according to the notorious "adult-Libyan" Tokiev. As for SMR, this technology could be very popular for Kazakhstan, given the long distances and lack of developed infrastructure in remote areas. It seems that the Americans did not want to participate in the competition to build nuclear power plants, hoping to fend off the less promising niche of MMR. At the same time, the US plans to build stations with MMR, and the number of projects that Americans are in first place in the world. But Russia already operates operating stations with MMR - both on the ground and in a floating version. That is, Russian technologies are actually tested, unlike the American ones. The Chinese are also operating models, although they have not yet reached floating power plants. Although South Koreans are also developing their own SMR, they are working closely with the United States on this issue. However, the Kazakhs are not interested in the floating option, and there is no special economic need to place such a station in the Caspian Sea. Not to mention the inevitable complications that may arise from the sea level and the possible objections of neighbors.
