Why we interesting in the field of
cost effective modernisation
 From one side:
• with understanding that there is necessary to gain
and transfer good new knowledge and advanced
EU for practical uses;
 From another side:
• with our experience regarding VVER and wish to
support the process of the:
– sustainable and safety long time operation of the
NPP;
– prevention of the accidents and improvement of the
mitigation concept and management of accident
sequences, etc.
TU - Sofia wish you success
Thank you for your time
and cooperation
