"We are actively monitoring the operation of Unit 5 of the Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant and the situation with the new fuel. At the moment, there are no indications of problems", said Tsanko Bachiyski, chair of the Bulgarian Nuclear Regulatory Agency, on Wednesday during the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the commissioning of the First Power Unit of the Kozloduy NPP.
