Bulgaria: NPP Kozloduy begins annual maintenance of Unit 6 to start 31st fuel cycle

Bulgaria’s only nuclear power plant, Kozloduy, announced that Unit 6 will undergo its annual maintenance shutdown from October 25 to December 1.

According to the plant’s management, all planned work is fully funded and will be carried out by qualified personnel, ensuring the maintenance process meets the highest technical standards. During this period, systems and equipment will receive comprehensive preventive servicing aimed at maintaining the unit’s operational safety and long-term reliability.
