Bulgaria's national repository for low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste has been officially opened. It is expected to be filled over the next 60 years, and then closed and its contents closely monitored for more than 300 years.
 

The State Enterprise for Radioactive Waste says that construction of Bulgaria's national repository for low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste has been issued with a certificate confirming the work is fit for commissioning.
 

Blue Bird Energy - a Bulgarian company focused on deploying small modular reactors - has signed a Letter of Intent with Poland's Synthos Green Energy to establish a joint venture aimed at constructing a fleet of up to six GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy BWRX-300 reactors in Bulgaria.
 

The three-company consortium has signed an owner’s engineer contract to advance two new AP1000 units at Bulgaria’s Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant.
 

Bulgaria’s Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov and Minister of Energy Zhecho Stankov are considering the potential installation of small modular reactors in the country as part of its aim to be a regional energy leader.

Bulgaria's Ministry of Energy and the US's Citi bank have agreed on a partnership to secure funding for the construction of two new units at the Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant.

The National Audit Office has outlined delays of more than 10 years in the construction of Bulgaria's National Repository for Long-Term Storage of Low- and Intermediate-Level Radioactive Waste. It also identified alleged public procurement irregularities.

Memorandums of understanding signed with seven Bulgarian suppliers will support the project to build two AP1000 pressurised water reactor units at the Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant site.

The two part-built units at the Khmelnitsky nuclear power plant could be finished with unused equipment from Bulgaria's discontinued Belene nuclear power plant project, with President Volodymyr Zelensky signing into law the legal framework for the acquisition.
