Balgarianovinite.com The Nuclear Regulatory Agency granted State Enterprise Radioactive Waste a 10-year licence to decommission Units 3 and 4 of Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant, the regulator said Saturday.
Nuclear Regulatory Agency (NRA) Chair Tsanko Bachiyski presented the licence to State Enterprise Radioactive Waste (SERAW) Deputy Executive Director Elisaveta Mladenova. It was issued to SERAW’s Specialized Division for Decommissioning Units 1-4. SERAW Management Board Chair Sergey Tsochev also attended the ceremony.
The licence authorizes SERAW to carry out the decommissioning of Units 3 and 4 over the next 10 years.
The NRA said the work must comply with the Safe Use of Nuclear Energy Act and its implementing regulations. Nuclear safety, radiation protection, physical protection and the safe management of radioactive waste must take precedence over all other aspects of the work.
Units 3 and 4 were permanently shut down on December 31, 2006, hours before Bulgaria joined the European Union, under commitments linked to the country’s accession. Units 1 and 2 were shut down in 2002, while Units 5 and 6 remain operational and may continue running until 2047 and 2051, respectively, provided that maintenance and modernization requirements are met.
The National Repository for Radioactive Waste at the Radiana site near Kozloduy began operating in April 2026. It is designed to hold treated low- and intermediate-level waste, including waste from decommissioning Units 1 to 4, but not high-level waste or spent nuclear fuel.
