Let's put it this way - there is a decision of the National Assembly that stopped the government from taking these steps.

Thank God the executive branch did more and speed.

The government has signed an agreement with Westinhouse, a contract for preliminary engineering works will be signed tomorrow.

Valentin Nikolov stated this to the media

Valentin Nikolov was born in Dobrich.

He graduated from the University of Economics in Varna, chairman of NKBSES and former head of BEH and Kozloduy NPP.

He attended a conference on "Development of nuclear energy in Bulgaria - scenarios, risks and prospects".

The event is organized by the National Committee of Bulgaria in the World Energy Council and with the financial support of the Kozloduy NPP.

Valentin Nikolov: We are paying for the seventh unit at the Kozloduy NPP

"Things are going quite well.

Bulgaria is rich in that we have two licensed sites.

What is different now is that after the parliament voted with a majority to develop unit 7 and possibly 8 of the Kozrloduy NPP, and the same parties are expected to be in the next parliament, we expect them to confirm their decision and develop the project very quickly," said he too.

"Given that the Recovery and Resilience Plan envisages reducing carbon emissions and closing coal plants, that means we need baseload capacity.

Only nuclear energy offers such," added Nikolov.

He explained what is happening with the Belene NPP: "Two reactors are currently there.

We heard that a contract for preliminary engineering works is about to be signed.

We hope this money does not go to waste."
