Bulgaria - Sofia.
The Bulgarian government decided today to resume construction in 2003 of a nuclear plant at Belene (North), on the Danube, whose work was interrupted in 1990. The announcement was made today in Sofia, a government spokesman Dimitar Tzonev. The government has also decided to close by December 31, 2002 two more reactors of the Kozloduy nuclear power plant obsolete (northwest), as required by the European Union. According Tzonev, the construction of the Belene plant, whose cost amounts to one billion dollars, will resume in 2003 and the facilities should become operational in 2008.
Construction work began in 1987 and had been blocked in 1990, shortly after the fall of communism, the pressure of the environmental movement. More than 1.3 billion dollars were already invested in and to buy a pressurized water reactor by a thousand megawatts to the former Czechoslovakia and steam generators.
In the initial phase of the negotiations for accession to the EU - European Union, Bulgaria had agreed in 1999 to close before 2003 the two oldest reactors of the Kozloduy nuclear power plant. Two other reactors of the plant should be closed in 2006, under an agreement that allowed Bulgaria to be provisionally concluded the chapter with the UU energy. The Bulgarian government in 2003 but expects EU experts to show that (2) two reactors can be operated safely, with a view to re-open the energy chapter and renegotiate the closing date. Source: ANSA
