On September 10, 2024, Astana International University (AIU) hosted a discussion meeting on the construction of a nuclear power plant (NPP). The event was attended not only by specialists in the field of ecology and energy, but also by members of the people's headquarters, who conduct explanatory work on the economic benefits of the project.

Teachers of the Pedagogical Institute also took part in this meeting, which made it possible to learn more about the benefits and harms of nuclear power plants from a social point of view. Members of the people's headquarters conducted explanatory work on the economic benefits of nuclear power plants construction, noting that nuclear power can provide a stable energy supply for many years, reducing the region's dependence on fossil fuels and creating new jobs. Experts also drew attention to the fact that Kazakhstan, as one of the largest suppliers of uranium, can use this resource for the development of its energy infrastructure.

As a result of the discussion, the participants concluded that the construction of a nuclear power plant opens up wide opportunities for Kazakhstan, but requires careful analysis and responsibility in terms of ensuring environmental and Social Security.
