Approximately 33 percent of the electricity is generated by Kozloduy NPP,” said Energy Minister Temenuzhka Petkova at a meeting with International Atomic Energy Agency Deputy Director General Mikhail Chudakov. In her words electricity production by nuclear power stations provides electricity at affordable prices, a high environmental protection level and guarantees the population’s safety.
