Bulgaria is aiming by mid-2024 to be able to use nuclear fuel produced by US-based Westinghouse at one of its existing reactor units at the Kozloduy nuclear power station, the country’s energy minister Alexander Nikolov told local media.
Mr Nikolov said in an interview for Free Europe Bulgaria that the plan “is no longer a question of whether, but of how”.
He said a Bulgarian energy trade delegation which visited the US and Westinghouse facilities in Pennsylvania last month discussed the nuclear fuel topic.
