Kazakhstan could supply 40% of China's nuclear fuel needs, Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev said February 23, according to kt.kz.
China is building 19 nuclear power station blocks and is planning 25 more, Nazarbayev said, adding that Kazakhstan could make tens of billions of dollars by supplying uranium to China.
Kazakhstan will supply China 55,000 tones of uranium under the agreement, the Financial Times estimated. Nazarbayev has concluded a three-day trip to China during which Kazakhstan and Chinese officials signed numerous trade deals.
