The National Electricity Company will be able to sell part of the equipment located at the construction site of the Belene NPP to Kozloduy NPP, by a decision made by the Council of Ministers at its sitting today.
The equipment in question includes filters, ventilators and other elements important to the implementation of the programmes for the extension of the lifespan of reactors 5 and 6 at Kozloduy NPP. The programmes require a supply of spare parts for repairs and new equipment for maintenance. The equipment stored at the Belene NPP site is analogical to the equipment in use at Kozloduy NPP and is interchangeable, the decision reads.
