Kozloduy NPP Exempted from Sanctions

Russian contractors are planned to be involved to ensure the station's operation

The Bulgarian government has decided to lift EU sanctions restrictions from the Kozloduy NPP. This was reported by the Bulgarian National Television.

The enterprise will be able to import metal products from Russia when fulfilling contracts listed in the appendices to today's decision. It is also allowed to import goods and technologies from Russia and provide the corresponding technical assistance necessary for the execution of contracts directly listed in the appendices. 
Message from the Government of Bulgaria

The decision was motivated by the fact that a significant part of the equipment at the Kozloduy NPP is of Russian production. In the future, it is planned to involve contractors from Russia to ensure the further safe operation of the station.

Additionally, it was noted that the lifting of sanctions restrictions will be in effect until the expiration of contracts with Russian counterparties.

Earlier, www1.ru reported that the Akkuyu NPP project will be implemented despite the sanctions.
