Kazakhstan votes in referendum for first nuclear plant to overcome power crisis

The result is to be announced on Monday.

Notably, the issue is a controversial one in the former Soviet republic, which was exposed to radiation on a massive scale during nuclear tests conducted by the USSR. The possible involvement of Russia in the project has also been of concern to some. But, opposition to the project seems to have been repressed by the country's government. The local media reported dozens of arrests of critics in the run-up to Sunday's referendum.
