Abstrakt: The article discusses Kazakhstan's ongoing debate over the construction of a nuclear power plant, highlighting arguments for and against nuclear power. The government is pushing for the plant to address energy deficits and boost the country's nuclear industry, while opponents cite concerns about accidents, environmental impact, and dependence on Russia.
