Analyzing Nuclear Power in Bulgaria
The Bulgarian government has a history of favoring the usage of nuclear power for electricity. The 2 MWt IRT-2000 research reactor started up in 1961 and in 1966 an agreement was signed with the Soviet Union for commercial units, providing the basis of the country's power program.
In Bulgaria, the Kozloduy NPP operated six pressurized water reactors with a total output of 3760 MW-electricity. Two of these, units 5 and 6, are currently operational with a total rating of 1906 MW.
The report - Analyzing Nuclear Power in Bulgaria - by Aruvian's R'search, explores the importance of nuclear power in today’s world, with Section One being dedicated to Understanding the Basics of Nuclear Power. The report looks at the basics of the nuclear industry that is, how a plant works, analyzing and understanding the fuel cycle, the various components which are involved in the working of a nuclear power plant, and much more. Economics, issues and barriers, and other such factors are also explored in-depth in this report.
This offering includes a complete analysis of the Bulgarian Nuclear Power Industry, including an industry profile, industry developments, Uranium fuel cycle developments, major players in the industry, and lots more information is included in this research report. This research offering is a comprehensive A to Z guide on the Bulgarian nuclear power industry.
