The Russian state corporation Rosatom plans to prepare between 1,500 and 2,000 employees to work at Kazakhstan’s first full-scale nuclear power plant, Orda.kz reports, citing TASS.
According to Yuri Seleznev, rector of the Rosatom Technical Academy, specialists will begin training five years before the plant’s launch. Construction is expected to be completed in 2035–2036, after which Kazakhstan will become the sole owner and operator of the facility.
“We will train operational personnel. The number of future students will be determined by the contract, somewhere between one and a half and two thousand people,” Seleznev said.
The Rosatom Technical Academy will also develop and equip a training center for future nuclear specialists.
Training personnel for nuclear power plants abroad is one of the Academy’s main areas of work; it also conducts retraining and certification of specialists in Russia and provides scientific and methodological support to Rosatom organizations.
On August 8, near the village of Ulken in the Almaty region, construction work on the first Kazakh nuclear power plant was officially launched. A soil capsule was handed over to Russian specialists, who will research to determine the exact site for the station.
