Bulgaria’s government approved Wednesday plans to add a new reactor at its Soviet-era nuclear power plant at Kozloduy, effectively ditching another project to build a new plant at Belene. At its weekly session the cabinet backed “the building of unit 7 at Kozloduy with the available equipment from the project for the Belene nuclear power plant,” the government press service said in a statement. The decision followed energy ministry talks with the US nuclear engineering company Westinghouse for a hybrid solution for a new unit at Kozloduy with US technology that would make the maximum use of Russian equipment which Bulgaria has already purchased for Belene.
