The planned annual repairs of Unit VI of Kozloduy NPP have been completed five days ahead of schedule. On November 1, at 1.41 am, it joined the country's energy system after an inspection and approval by the Nuclear Regulatory Agency.
The unit was stopped on September 29. For 31 days, the capacity of 1,000 megawatts was not part of the electricity market, which caused further rise of energy prices in Bulgaria.
Equipment maintenance has been performed and the unit has been refueled with fresh nuclear fuel. All the planned activities related to increasing the safety and ensuring the long-term operation of the unit have been carried out. The 5th nuclear power unit of Kozloduy is also operating at full capacity, the power plant's head Nasko Mihov said.
