V. Nikolov: We expect EIA for unit 7 of Kozloduy NPP in September

“In September, we should have the final environmental impact assessment (EIA) report for the construction of a new 1,000-megawatt unit at the Kozloduy NPP. We have asked to include in the contract all the notes demanded from us by Romania’s Minister of Environment and Water,” Valentin Nikolov, Executive Director of the Kozloduy NPP, stated on BNR on Sunday.

The contract also projects public discussions within the 100-km zone around unit 7, Romania included.

“Before the Council of Ministers decides to build unit 7, three key things must take place: a feasibility study, a geological survey and a selection of the site, and an EIA,” he said, adding that the three contracts have already been signed.

For the 25 years since it was built, unit 5 of the Kozloduy NPP has generated more than 13 million MWh of electricity. Currently, the generators operate at full capacity and I believe they are some of the safest in Europe. In the last 10 years, €0.5 bn have been invested in their safety,” stated Nikolov.
