The Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) is insisting that equipment from the Belene nuclear power plant not be sold to Ukraine. The left-wing parliamentary group has submitted a draft resolution to the National Assembly demanding that negotiations between Bulgaria and Ukraine be frozen until it is established whether some of the equipment can be used for the needs of the Kozloduy nuclear power plant.

The group's deputy leader, Dragomir Stoynev, told a BNR reporter that so far there had been two statements from the National Energy Commission showing that the equipment at Belene was compatible with that at Kozloduy. According to the BSP, an assessment by experts and also by the International Atomic Energy Agency can determine whether the equipment can really be used for the needs of the Kozloduy NPP.

Stoynev stressed that this was a matter of state energy policy.
