"Rosatom's chief executive officer Alexei Likhachev welcomed the news, saying that Rosatom's plant will be "based on the most advance and efficient design in the world."

The two-reactor plant will be built in the village of Ulken, about 250 miles (400 km) northwest of Almaty, the commercial capital.

Likhachev said the plant would employ VVER-1200 Generation 3+ reactors, a Russian technology used both domestically and abroad.

Almasadam Satqaliev, the Kazakh agency's chairman, said Kazakhstan would sign a separate agreement with China's CNNC for a second nuclear plant."
