Bulgaria’s Kozloduy-5 nuclear power plant has been granted permission for a phased transition to the use of nuclear fuel produced by Westinghouse Electric in Sweden, according to the plant's director Valentin Nikolov.
He told Bulgarian National Radio that that there is no risk of any interruptions in operation due to the switch from the current Russia-made fuel to the Westinghouse fuel.
Nikolov said there are no expected delays in the delivery of the new fuel, which is scheduled to be loaded at Kozloduy-5 during a planned outage in May.
