A leak of radioactive water was detected at one of the reactors of the Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) in Bulgaria. This was announced by the director of the NPP, Valentin Nikolov.
The emergency situation occurred in the sealed room of power unit No. 6. Prior to that, a defect was discovered in one of the steam generators, which appeared due to a worker's error.
It was there that a water leak from the first to the second circuit was noted, which occurred due to personnel error.
According to him, almost 8 cubic meters of radioactive water leaked. Nikolov emphasized that the accident occurred in a sealed area, and there are no consequences for the personnel. After the leak is eliminated, power unit No. 6 will be put back into operation.
The construction of the NPP in Bulgaria began in 1970, with the participation of Soviet engineers. In 1974, the station became operational and began generating electricity.
In 2021, the Bulgarian authorities planned to use equipment supplied by Rosatom to build a new reactor at the Kozloduy NPP. However, they refused to cooperate with Russia.
Earlier, www1.ru wrote that American nuclear fuel was loaded into the reactor of power unit No. 5 of the Kozloduy NPP. Rosatom has withdrawn its obligations related to the maintenance of the power unit.
