Scientists from the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, who prepared the Belene NPP Report, have requested that the interim and final report on the viability of the project be fully declassified and published. According to scientists, this way speculations about intervention by the Ministry of Energy and the Bulgarian Energy Holding would stop.

Scientists firmly denied that they have been pressured to change the conclusions of the report. The director of the Institute for Economic Research Professor Alexander Tasev said that the initial report looked at the most unfavorable scenario, which would have made the project not viable. The official version provides a variant, in which the project is cost-effective.
