1. ENERGY, ECONOMIC AND ELECTRICITY INFORMATION

1.1 General Overview

Kazakhstan is a newly independent Euro-Asian republic, created in 1991 with the dissolution of the former USSR. The total length of its borders is more than 15,000 kilometres and it has an area of 2.7 million square kilometres. To the west of the country is Eastern Europe. To the east and to the southeast are the Altai and Tyan Shyan mountains. Kazakhstan borders with China in the southeast, with Ural and Siberia regions of Russia in the north, and with Central Asian countries, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan, in the south. It has a coastline of 2 320 kilometres on the Caspian Sea. The climate is strongly continental, but with wide variations throughout the territory. Average temperatures in January range from -18oC in the north to -3oC in the south; July averages are 19oC in the north and 30oC in the south. Levels of precipitation are equally varied with average annual rainfall in mountainous regions reaching 1,600 mm and central desert areas less than 100 mm.


Kazakhstan's population is 14.9 million from more than 100 nationalities (Figure 1), but mainly Kazakh and Russian. In July 2003, the population growth rate was about +0.3%. The population density is estimated at 5.59 people per square kilometre (Table 1). The government disposes in Astana, the capital of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

1.1.1. Economic Indicators


The break-up of the USSR in December 1991 and the collapse of demand for Kazakhstan's traditional heavy industry products resulted in a short-term contraction of the economy, with the steepest annual decline occurring in 1994. In 1995-97, the pace of the government programme of economic reform and privatization quickened, resulting in a substantial shifting of assets into the private sector. The Caspian Pipeline Consortium agreement to build a new pipeline from western Kazakhstan's Tengiz oil field to the Black Sea increases prospects for substantially larger oil exports in several years. Kazakhstan's economy again turned downward in 1998 with a 2% decline in GDP due to slumping oil prices and the August financial crisis in Russia. The recovery of international oil prices in 1999, combined with a well-timed tenge devaluation and a bumper grain harvest, pulled the economy out of recession in 2000. The government has embarked upon an industrial policy designed to diversify the economy away from over dependence on the oil sector by developing light industry. Historical Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data are given in Table 2.

1.1.2. Energy Situation

Kazakhstan, the second largest of the former Soviet republics in territory, possesses enormous fossil fuel reserves (see Table 3) as well as plentiful supplies of other minerals and metals. It also is a large agricultural - livestock and grain - producer. Kazakhstan's industrial sector rests on the extraction and processing of these natural resources and also on a growing machine-building sector specializing in construction equipment, tractors, agricultural machinery, and some defence items.

Power plants fuelled with coal and black oil are the basis of Kazakhstan's electrical energy. Coal is the country's largest industry, with planned further development if corresponding investments are secured. Coal reserves are estimated at 64 billion tons. Annual hard coal production is about 111.8 million metric tons, brown coal production is estimated at 4.6 million metric tons. Kazakhstan also has a well developed oil and gas industry. More than 1 600 oil and gas fields have been located in Tengiz and Karachaganak containing more than 2.9 billion tons of conditional fuel. Natural gas production was estimated at 5 416 million cubic metres in 1993. Kazakhstan has begun building a major oil pipeline, 1 200 kilometres from the west to the east. Construction of three new oil refineries is planned. Every year, about 25 million tons of liquid hydrocarbons and seven billion cubic meters of natural gas are extracted. About 20% of the world's uranium reserves are in Kazakhstan. Table 4 shows the energy statistics.

2. NUCLEAR POWER SITUATION

2.1. Historical Development and current nuclear power organizational structure

2.1.1 Overview

The nuclear scientific industrial complex in Kazakhstan was established as a unified part of atomic industry and science in the former Soviet Union.


Kazakhstan's uranium industry consists of uranium prospecting firms, a number of natural mines using mining and underground leaching techniques, two U3O8 production plants at Aktau and Stepnogorsk, and a metallurgical plant producing metaloceramic fuel pellets for RBMK and VVER reactor fuel assemblies. The power plant at Aktau (MAEK) has been shut down in June 1999 and defuelling took place in October 2000. It consisted of natural gas units and a nuclear unit. The latter unit is a BN-350 fast neutron reactor with sodium coolant.


On the territory of the former Semipalatinsk Nuclear Test Site, three research reactors are engaged in testing and development of nuclear space engines and safe nuclear power plants. In 1992, the National Nuclear Centre was created (based on Semipalatinsk reactors) along with the Institute of Nuclear Physics in Almaty.

2.3 Supply of NPPs

A joint resolution on nuclear safety and technical support for nuclear energy facilities in Kazakhstan was signed between KAEA and Russian Federation's Ministry of Atomic Energy.


The BN-350 reactor was designed and constructed by organizations of the former Soviet Union, under the supervision of the Ministry of Atomic Energy (MINATOM). The chief scientific supervisor is the Institute of Physics and Power engineering (IPPE, Obninsk). The chief designer is the Experimental Design Bureau on Machinery Building (OKBM-N, Novgorod), and main constructor is the All Russian Scientific Research and Design Institute for Power Technologies (VNIIPIET, Saint-Petersburg). The plant is operated by Joint-Stock Company "MAEC-Kazatomprom". At the present, the regulatory body supervising the plant safety is the Kazakhstan Atomic Energy Committee (KAEC).


2.4 Operation of NPPs

The BN-350 reactor is owned by Close Stock Company "National Atomic Company
KAZATOMPROM" and operated by Joint-Stock Company "MAEC-Kazatomprom". About 500 people are working at the power plant, organized to two sections: the Operations Section with shift teams and technical division; and, the Maintenance Section divided into seven divisions. MAEC-Kazatomprom nuclear power plant has six shifts, each shift containing 24 people (radioprotection not included). Sixteen of these shift workers are for surveillance and early maintenance. The required qualifications for each person are specified. Periodic (every one to three years) examinations to confirm the competence of the personnel, including the plant management, are administered by KAEA. Examinations for reactor operators are given by a plant committee. The plant is shutdown as mentioned earlier.


Special training for each new staff member includes classroom instruction, on the job training, and examinations at appropriate intervals. Nuclear plant procedures are prepared in written form for all normal operations and for foreseeable accidents. These procedures are revised every three years. There is no simulator at BN-350.


2.5 Fuel Cycle and Waste Management

Kazakhstan has more than 50 uranium deposits in six provinces: the Kokshetau province in the north and the Pribalkhashsky province in the south have endogenetic type uranium deposits; Iliskay, Chu-Sarusu, Sur-Darya, and Prikaspiy provinces have endogenic type deposits. Deposits in Chu-Sarusu and Sur-Durya provinces are located in sand penetrating sediments and are useful for in-situ leaching processes.

Waste from uranium mining and milling constitutes more than 90% of all radioactive waste in Kazakhstan. Therefore, implementation of the Republic's Concept on the radioactive waste management is the main task.


The Open Stock Company "Ulba Metallurgical Plant" (UMZ) started production of UO2 fuel pellets in 1976. Physical and chemical technologies are used at all stages of production, from treatment of UF6 material, to conversion into UO2, production of UO2 pellets, and sintering of the pellets. Quality control is maintained during all process stages. The design capacity of the plant is 2,000 tons of pellets per year. Fuel assemblies from UMZ are used at nuclear power plants in Russia, the Ukraine, and other countries. The U235 content is 1.6-4.4%. UMZ also produces rare earth metal products and super conducting materials.

 

2.6 Research and Development

Kazakhstan has four research reactors at the National Nuclear Centre where the following research is carried out:
i) radiation material science; study of the interaction between construction materials and coolants; investigation of fission produced emission from fuel rods, its precipitation and filtration under different conditions;
ii) safety of nuclear power plants; fuel assemblies and rod tests at transition and break-down modes of operation; simulation of reactor core fragment melting and interaction of melted material with coolant;
iii) development and implementation of nuclear physics methods and technologies; production of isotopes for different applications, for example, thallium-201 chloride for early diagnostics of heart decease.

2.7 International Co-operation and Initiatives

In 2000-2002, Kazakhstan has activities in two the national project "Nuclear Power Siting" (KAZ/9/006).
Also, there are efforts under the Co-ordinated Plan of Technical Support of the Republic Kazakhstan to establish a national system for nuclear materials accountancy, control and physical protection as detailed by the International Atomic Energy Agency.

2.8 Human Resources Development

3. NATIONAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS

3.1. Safety Authority and the Licensing Process

The Kazakhstan Atomic Energy Committee (KAEC) is the Nuclear Regulatory Body of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The following laws and regulations determine the procedure for licensing:

· Law on licensing;
· Law on use of nuclear energy;
· Regulations on licensing of the activity connected with atomic energy use.

The licensing stages for nuclear installations can be briefly represented as follows:

· License demand (submission of application documents);
· KAEC decision on the demand control;
· Analysis of substantiating materials of demand;
· Inspection at the nuclear installation;
· Conclusion on substantiating materials examination;
· Conclusion on nuclear installation inspection;
· General conclusion on obtaining license;
· License.

3.2. Main National Laws and Regulations in Nuclear Power

The following laws are relevant for nuclear energy:

· Law on the use of nuclear energy;
· Law on radiation protection of the Kazakh population;
· Law on licensing;
· Regulations on licensing of activity connected with atomic energy use;
· Regulation on the Atomic Energy Committee of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

All regulating documents have been compiled into a "List of main technical documents of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the field of atomic energy use". The programme of developing atomic legislation implies two basic laws:

· Law on radioactive waste management;
· Law on export-import control (new version).

 

4. CURRENT ISSUES AND DEVELOPMENTS ON NUCLEAR POWER
