Zhantikin has underlined at the same time that ensuring the ecological and environmental security of Kazakhstan will be the main concern in formulating the program for constructing the international fuel bank.
Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev said if the international community needs to establish a bank for the nuclear fuel, Kazakhstan could consider hosting such a depository.
Previously, Kazakhstan had approached the US on hosting the international nuclear fuel bank in its territory, so that nations that renounce nuclear weapons could purchase fissile fuels for peaceful use of nuclear energy.
