There is enough fuel for several years of operation of the units of Kozloduy NPP without any deliveries According to the Nuclear Regulatory Agency (NRA), there is enough fuel for several years of operation of the units of Kozloduy NPP without any supplies. This was said by the NRA Chairman Tsanko Bachiiski. He pointed out that the fifth unit can work smoothly for another two years without any deliveries, and the sixth unit even more. With regard to spent fuel, now is not the time to export fuel for reprocessing, Bachiiski added. The strategy of the NRA is to send the spent fuel for reprocessing. "It's not critical. There's enough space in the spent fuel storage to keep the units running smoothly," he added. According to Bachiiski, until 2032-2033 there is no problem with spent fuel. There are no worries about the supply of fresh fuel, said the NRA chairman. "This is one of the advantages of nuclear energy - that it is truly independent. You see, gas can be stopped at any moment, there is panic. Has anyone heard anything that the nuclear power plant will stop? No, and it will not stop." , said Bachiiski.
