this subject from six months ago.
A map revision in the offing?...
The International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) first shipment of
low-enriched uranium has reached the uranium bank in the eastern
Kazakh city of Oskemen, where it will be safeguarded. The shipment
was delivered to Oskemen by the French company Orano-Cycle.
Kazakh officials say the uranium will be used as "peace energy" in
the fuel bank in Oskemen.
Kazakhstan's founder Nursultan Nazarbayev opened the low-enriched
uranium bank at the Ulba Metalurgy Factory in Oskemen in 2017.
With the aim of preparing fuel for nuclear electricity reactors, the
low-enriched uranium will be converted to hexafluoride gas, amounting
to 90 metric tons. Orano-Cycle brought the uranium to the port at
St. Petersburg, Russia, on 16 October and from there by rail to Oskemen.
A Kazakh official took note of the French-Kazakh partnership on this
subject and he predicted that many scientists will come to Kazakhstan
for research in light of the nation's nuclear infrastructure. Another
aspect he highlighted was the prospect of technology transfer for
Kazakhstan.
Oskemen is in Kazakhstan's extreme northeast.
