Today, the market is recovering from a period or planned, with another 300 proposed. Today, an important of pricing volatility while the demand drivers for the next decade demand driver is the international fight against climate change, are becoming clear. In recent years, this has led some uranium where nuclear power is viewed as one means of reducing producers to reduce supply in expectation of future improvements carbon emissions as a replacement for coal and natural-gas in the marketplace. Key consumers of nuclear material burning plants, especially in the rapidly growing markets of China include electric utilities, military submarine fleets and medical and India. users of uranium. Kazakhstan remains the largest uranium producer in the world, According to the World Nuclear Association’s World Nuclear accounting for two-fifths of global production in 2018 despite Performance Report 2018, there are currently around 450 nuclear committing to a 20 % reduction in output to help harmonise power reactors operating worldwide, with a combined capacity the supply-demand balance in response to falling prices of roughly 400 GWe, which provided more than 10 % of the world’s on international markets. In terms of uranium reserves, electric power in 2017. Another 50 power reactors are currently Kazakhstan has an estimated 2 million tons, ranking it second under construction, most notably in China, India, Russia after Australia. According to official statistics, Kazakhstan produced and the United Arab Emirates. 21,699 tons of uranium in 2018, compared with 23,390 tons in 2017. About ISR The in situ recovery (ISR) method was created in the early 1960s and became widespread in uranium mining in the 1990s. In recent years, the process has accounted for almost half of uranium extraction worldwide. The ISR principle consists of injecting a leaching solution through shafts into the uranium deposit. The solution (dilute acid and water) dissolves the uranium as it passes through the deposit and is pumped to the surface. The solution loaded with uranium is then transported by pipeline to the plant where the uranium is extracted and fixed on ion exchange resins. The solutions are enriched with acid and re-injected into the wells, continuing the closed-circuit process. ISR technology has evolved with tight operational and regulatory controls. It causes little surface disturbance, does not generate tailings or waste rock, and requires less investment than conventional mining. However, this technique is put into use only when the ore is located between impervious soil layers such as in Kazakhstan and Mongolia. Expansion of processing KATCO produces 30,000th ton KATCO produces 40,000th ton capacity at Tortkuduk of uranium of uranium 2009 2010 2013 2016 2017 2019 KATCO becomes world’s KATCO reaches 4,000 tons Kazatomprom and Orano largest ISR operator per year annual output sign agreement for further development of KATCO 3 BUSINESS MODEL KATCO’s business model is designed to leverage the Company’s unique value propositions of implementing innovative technologies and effi cient cost structure to deliver on behalf of customers, while taking advantage of a skilled and competitive human resource base, delivering a globally competitive cost of production.

  • How Kazakhstanis Migrate from South to North in Pursuit of Better Life
    How Kazakhstanis Migrate from South to North in Pursuit of Better Life Since 2017, Kazakhstan has had a programme of voluntary migration from densely populated southern regions to labour-scarce northern regions. The migrants receive social package, namely, employment and accommodation assistance. Follow us on LinkedIn Many people dream of «better life» and seriously think of relocation and drastic changes. Moreover, a decision to move from the warm and prosperous south to the cold and windy north of Kazakhstan requires a well thought approach to little details. The housing problem motivates people to relocate. 32-year-old Asiya Sharipova has been moving with her family in Shymkent from one rented apartment to another. In recent months, they have lived in a temporary construction with five children. «We wanted to stay and work in the south. But we don’t have a permanent job, you know. We did not need to earn millions. The main thing is to feed our kids and to have food in the fridge. My life there was difficult,» she said hardly holding back tears. One year ago, she with her family moved to Ekibastuz in Pavlodar region under the state voluntary relocation programme. At the new place they with the husband got a job and the house – the akimat offered the vacancies of mechanic and seamstress. However, they have a language barrier. «I speak only Kazakh, but local residents prefer speaking Russian. At first, it was hard, but we could get used to the cold climate. Also, we all have different mentality, though we live in the same country.

    E3S Web of Conferences 159, 05002 (2020) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202015905002 BTSES-2020 Assessing the competitiveness of Kazakhstan regions: creating an index Aknur Zhidebekkyzy1,*, Rimma Sagiyeva1, Zhansaya Temerbulatova1 1Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, al-Farabi Ave. 71, 050040 Almaty, Kazakhstan Abstract. Today there is no single universally accepted method for assessing the competitiveness of the country's regions. For this reason, the research created a methodology for assessing competitiveness at the regional level for Kazakhstan. The three-factor model of Huggins for ranking the regions of Great Britain by the level of competitiveness was used as the basis, and then the model was expanded on the example of a study assessing the competitiveness of the regions of the European Union countries. All data for assessing the competitiveness of the regions of Kazakhstan were collected from the official website of the Committee on Statistics of the Ministry of National Economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan. In the article, 14 regions and 2 cities of republican significance were ranked in terms of competitiveness. As a result, the most competitive regions of Kazakhstan were Almaty city, Atyrau region and Nur-Sultan city, the worst indicator was found for the North Kazakhstan and Zhambyl regions. 1 Introduction Today, one of the highest priorities facing each state is increasing national competitiveness. National competitiveness reflects the country's ability to achieve high rates of economic growth and maintain it in the long run, control the efficient use of resources and compete in the international arena. For increasing the level of national competitiveness, it is important to understand its formation structure.

Toraighyrov Pavlodar State University, Kazakhstan *Corresponding Author, Received: 13 July 2019, Revised: 12 Aug. 2019, Accepted:29 Aug. 2019 ABSTRACT: Before building the storm sewer networks the analysis of precipitation is very important. The issues of assessing the reliability of the information on the annual amounts of precipitation in the meteorological monitoring system of the KazHydroMet State Hydrometeorological Service of Kazakhstan are considered. An assessment is made of the homogeneity of the spatial correlation function, as the basis of the cartographic modeling of the statistical parameters of annual precipitation amounts. A special study aimed at studying the processes of cyclical fluctuations in the temporal variability of annual and summer precipitation amounts for stations representing all regions of the country. The data of daily precipitation of Kazakhstan in the period 1936-2017 were processed. When processing data, an open-source computer program R was used. The results will be useful for designers and researchers. A statistically significant increase in the maximum daily precipitation of 2–4 mm per 10 years was recorded at the Arkalyk, Aksay, Atyrau, Ushtobe, Bektauat and Karabalyk meteorological stations. At some stations in the Akmola and Pavlodar regions, as well as in the south and southeast of the republic, a statistically significant reduction of 2-6 days per 10 years was observed for the maximum duration of the period without precipitation.

  • Introduction to Uyghurs & East Turkistan
    12 Nov 2010. London. Online version of this article available at: http://www.uyghurensemble.co.uk/en-html/introduction-to-Uyghurs.pdf _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO UYGHURS AND EAST TURKISTAN ALL ABOUT THE UYGHURS . Uyghur (also spelled Uighur, Uygur) means "unity" or "alliance”, it is pronounced [ÖY-ghur or Uigu:R]. They are a Turkic ethnic people. Pre-history Uyghurs: the name Uyghur (Uighur) appeared for the first time 17,000 years ago in the pre-historic period with The Great Uighur Empire in the Continent of Mu during the Tertiary Era Belonged to the Continent of Mu1. James Churchward describes in his book “the great Uighur Empire” as the largest and most important colonial empire belonging to Mu, the Empire of the Sun. "Next to Mu herself, the Uighur Empire was the largest empire the world has ever known." . Uyghur history can be divided into four distinct phases: Pre-Imperial (300 BC – AD 630), Imperial (AD 630–840), Idiqut (AD 840–1200), and Mongol (AD 1209–1600), with perhaps a fifth modern phase running from the death of the Silk Road in AD 1600 until the present. Most people know that Tibet was occupied by China in 1950s but how many know that the Uyghurs' country East Turkistan (Xinjiang 'new frontier' in Chinese) was occupied by China in 1949? 1 These theories are explained in Hans Stefan Santesson’s published book in 1970 entitled “Understanding Mu: The Uighurs” Chapter 10 pages 96-100. Hans Stefan Santesson has proved these theories according to James Churchward’s book “Lost Continent of Mu Motherland of Man” (1926) Chapter 5 pages 105-110.
