The subsidiary of the "Kozloduy" NPP - "Kozloduy" NPP - New Power Plants" has submitted a request to the Nuclear Regulatory Agency (NRA) to determine the location of the future eighth unit of the plant. It must be located next to the seventh unit, whose site has been approved.
The Nuclear Regulatory Agency is about to verify whether the selected site is suitable for another unit. The submitted application is the first step in the overall process of licensing a new nuclear facility. The NRA is about to prepare a program for a comprehensive review and assessment of the submitted application and the documents attached to it.
The new units at the "Kozloduy" NPP - the seventh and eighth provide for the use of American AP 1000 reactors. It is expected that by the end of this year a request for permission to design the seventh unit of the plant will be submitted.
The company "Hyundai" has been chosen as the builder and engineer of the project, which, however, must also use Bulgarian subcontractors.
