The Belene NPP project does not have a European license, the European Commission notes in an answer to a request by Euractiv web site several days after it became clear that three of the five companies admitted to the procedure for selection of strategic investor of the project- the Russian State Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom, Framatome SAS (France) and GE Steam Power joined forces to participate in the procedure for selecting a strategic investor.
According to the letter, quoted by Euractiv, the Commission points out that the project for second Bulgarian nuclear power plant in Belene which was resumed in June 2018, must be subject to entirely new licensing, because the license obtained in 2007 is not up to date.
“The construction site of Belene NPP has been approved a long ago and does not need a new license. There are no problems with the implementation of the competition”, the Chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Agency Lachezar Kostov pointed out in response to the publication of Euractiv, quoted by BGNES agency.
