BULGARIA’S KOZLODUY NPP AMONG MOST DANGEROUS POWER PLANTS IN EUROPE
Bulgaria’s Kozloduy nuclear power plant (NPP) has been among the most dangerous ones in Europe for ages. Failures often occurred in its reactors and Bulgaria and foreign ecologist used to call for the plant’s closure, German newspaper Handelsblatt said. Bulgaria agreed to switch off four of the units of the six-reactor NPP under EU pressure. The last two units will probably continue functioning until 2010. Kozloduy plays an important role in meeting the power needs of Bulgaria and the region, Handelsblatt said.
Albania suffered the most from the unit closure as the country lost 40 per cent of its electricity supply and is experiencing its most severe energy crisis after the end of the communist rule.
