According to the report, prepared by the Bulgarian ministry of energy, a second site at Kozloduy has already received a positive environmental impact assessment from the regulator. The EIA included Russian VVER and US AP-1000 pressurised water reactor technology.
The report noted that construction of a seventh unit at Kozloduy, which has four shut-down units and two in operation, could use equipment from the Belene nuclear project.
In October 2020, the government gave permission to state-owned Bulgarian Energy Holding (BEH), which owns Kozloduy, to negotiate with US nuclear companies about deploying a new reactor at Kozloduy.

This was the overriding message of the three panellists in a webinar held last week by Utilities Middle East in partnership with Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom.

China's 13th Five-Year Plan (2016-2020) calls for operating nuclear generating capacity to double over the next five years to some 58GWe, up from the current capacity of almost 27GWe as well as for the start of construction of a new coastal power plant (location undisclosed). It also says that preparatory work will be carried out for inland plants and for work on a reprocessing plant to start by 2020. The plan, endorsed by China's National People's Congress earlier in March, will be officially implemented in the next few months.
