Kozloduy NPP requests from Russia information about the quality of its equipment

The Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) requested additional information from the company producer of its high-pressure heaters, installed at the VI unit of the plant, announced company’s officials. The issue with the facilities arose after the Russian media released the news that the heaters had been produced from steel of lower quality in the Russian ZiO-Podolsk machine-building plant and that the directors of the company are currently being investigated by the authorities.

The managers of the Kozloduy NPP sent a request to the company supplier in Bulgaria - ATP Atomtoploproekt and to the manufacturer of the equipment in Podolsk,  asking for details on the control of the equipment and the used materials. The plant is able to send experts to Russia in order to analyze the situation.

Meanwhile, experts from the Russian Atomenergomash company, the parent company of ZiO-Podolsk, announced that the produced heaters meet all quality requirements. Officials from the Bulgarian NPP explained that the systems had nothing to do with the safety units of the block.
