On January 21, 2025, a Kazakh delegation led by the Minister of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan Almasadam Satkaliyev paid a working visit to the Russian Federation.The main purpose of the visit was to get acquainted with the experience of operating nuclear power plants and to study the technologies of generation 3+ power units with VVER-1200 reactors. The delegation visited the Leningrad NPP, where the key technical aspects of the plant's operation were presented, including the installation of a block control room, a turbine compartment, a laboratory complex and a cooling system for power units. The VVER-1200 reactor is the flagship project of the Rosatom State Corporation.The visit to the Russian Federation was the final stage of a competitive dialogue with potential suppliers of technologies for the construction of nuclear power plants in Kazakhstan.Earlier, in the period from October to December 2024, similar working visits were held to the Republic of Korea, the French Republic and the People's Republic of China. Rosatom State Corporation is on the "shortlist" along with the Korean company KHNP, the Chinese CNNC and the French EDF.During the visit, the delegation held consultations with the management of the Leningrad NPP and got acquainted with the plant's infrastructure. Sosnovy Bor, the satellite city of the NPP, which is a modern science city and a center of scientific and engineering competencies, was also visited.For reference: The Leningrad NPP is the largest in Russia in terms of installed capacity and the only NPP operating two different types of power units – channel uranium-graphite (RBMK) and water-water (VVER). The main feature of the VVER-1200 project is the unique combination of active and passive safety systems that make the station as resistant to external and internal influences as possible."Today we have completed a series of working visits aimed at studying the world's best practices in the field of nuclear energy. The visit to the Leningrad NPP made it possible to get acquainted in detail with the technologies and safety measures that ensure the protection of the environment and the well–being of local residents," said Almasadam Satkaliyev, Minister of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan.The final decision on the choice of a supplier or consortium for the NPP construction project will be made this year. The decision will be made taking into account national interests, international norms and obligations, as well as recommendations of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/energo/press/news/details/922018

The city of Saran has risen to a new level thanks to the development of the industrial zone. Industries that had never existed before appeared here. For example, they should start producing refrigerators soon. It is planned to open a hot-dip galvanizing plant. Accordingly, the need for personnel has increased.Which specialists need to be trained, and how to strengthen cooperation between education and business – these issues were discussed at the meeting in Sarani. The Saransk Technical College became the organizer of the round table. Representatives of existing enterprises and those who are preparing for the opening participated. The Career Center and the Chamber of Entrepreneurs of the Karaganda region also responded to the invitation.– First of all, I want the locals to feel all the advantages of the industrial zone. In this regard, we are also not standing still. We want to develop with you. We will adapt to you, discover new specialties to meet your needs. I think local residents should be a priority: so that school graduates do not go to study in other cities, but can get a profession and get a job here in Saran," says Alina Yessimkhanova, director of the Saran Technical College.She spoke about the plans to open the Polymer Manufacturing Competence Center. This is relevant because several enterprises in the city are working in this area.New specialties will be opened at the college: "technology of polymer production", "installation and operation of refrigerating compressor machines and installations", "pipe production".The college's social partners include companies operating in the industrial zone. The hot-dip galvanizing plant has not yet opened, but cooperation with it has already begun: a roadmap has been signed. There is an agreement on joint training of welding specialists.There are currently 395 students enrolled at the college. 41% are covered by dual education. The goal is to move further in this direction so that students can gain practical skills in real–world conditions at enterprises.A joint project is also being discussed with the Kazakhstan Khalqyna Foundation. The college wants to equip a modern workshop or laboratory for students studying in the specialty "underground electrician".QazTehna company will open a personal office in the college, renovate the premises at its own expense.– We have been working with Saransk Technical College since the very beginning of the launch of the enterprise. Every year we hire more students to practice and participate in dual education. In general, they faced difficulties in training personnel at the formative stage. For example, there is a single qualification directory of professions, and even there our main specialties were not there. I had to work a lot in this direction. We currently have a strategic partnership with four colleges in the Karaganda region. We are opening a specialty "painter of motor vehicles" with the Transport and Technological College.
