Kazakhstan is considering supplying uranium to a nuclear power plant in Bulgaria, Orda.kz reports.
On June 9, Nurlan Zhakupov, Chair of the Board of the National Welfare Fund Samruq-Qazyna, told journalists that negotiations are underway regarding the supply of nuclear fuel to another European facility.
There is a nuclear power plant in Bulgaria, consisting of two units, 1.2 megawatts each. A potential field for cooperation lies in the supply of our uranium to the Bulgarian NPP,
said Zhakupov.
He declined to disclose expected delivery volumes, citing the information as classified.
The Kozloduy NPP is the only functioning nuclear power plant in Bulgaria. Located near the Romanian border, it operates two of its six reactors; the remaining four were shut down in the 2000s for not meeting modern safety standards.
In operation since 1974, Kozloduy generates about 18% of Bulgaria’s electricity.
Earlier, it was reported that Kazakhstan would also supply plants in the Czech Republic (Temelín) and Switzerland (Beznau and Leibstadt).
