US-based Westinghouse has signed memorandums of understanding with 17 Bulgarian suppliers to support forthcoming AP1000 nuclear projects at the Kozloduy nuclear power station site in northern Bulgaria, and other projects throughout the region.
The company said the MOUs were a result of engagement with local suppliers following the Westinghouse supplier symposium in February with Bulgarian companies.
Westinghouse said the agreements outline the potential for manufacturing of key components, including large structural modules, cranes, heat exchangers and pressure vessels, and the provision of various engineering, transportation, consulting and construction services.
