Bulgaria would profit $130 million if one of the decommissioned units of Kozloduy NPP were restarted, said yesterday Ivan Genov - director of the NPP in an interview with Bulgarian National Radio. Kozloduy NPP has recycled nuclear fuel sufficient for 5 months, so in case the produced electricity is sold on the Balkan markets Bulgaria would be able to earn good money. If the electricity were to be sold in Bulgaria, the profit would be $100 million, stated Genov.

Further on he announced that currently unit 4 is going through a preparation process and is being upgraded to meet the EU requirements. As of today talks will start for obtaining a licence from the Nuclear Regulatory Agency. This will allow reactivation of the unit in a week after the cabinet takes a decision.
