Minister of Energy Rosen Hristov has met in Paris with the management of the French energy companies Framatome and EDF. The main topic of the talks was cooperation in the nuclear energy sphere. The terms for delivery of French nuclear fuel for Unit No. 6 of the only NPP in Bulgaria - "Kozloduy" have been discussed, after the agreement signed on December 30.

Days before that, an agreement for the supply of fuel for Unit No. 5 was signed with Westinghouse Electric Sweden AB. "Security is possible only by diversifying supplies, so Bulgaria, like the Czech model, will have at least two suppliers of fresh nuclear fuel. In this way, we meet not only the European requirements, but also follow the best business and commercial practices," Hristov said.
