Among them, the share of production attributable to Kazakhstan Atomic Energy Industry Company was 8,309 tons, a year-on-year decrease of 15.6%. The main reason for the reduction in production was the adoption of anti-epidemic measures that led to the shrinkage of uranium mining operations and the reduction of production personnel.
