Russia seeks to disrupt the transmission of Bulgarian nuclear reactors in Ukraine / photo of UNIANThe Russian proxy spread misinformation in order to block the transfer of two nuclear reactors of the VVER-1000 type, which Bulgaria has purchased for the abolished project of NPP “Belen”.
About it reports RBC-Ukraine with reference to the article of the senior researcher Foreign Policy Research Institute Dr. Stephen Blanca. According to the expert, the Kremlin propagandists say that power units # 3 and # 4 of Khmelnitsky NPPs will be dangerous when using American nuclear fuel Westinghouse. At the same time, after long estimates, Westinghouse confirmed the safety of reactors in American fuel and the possibility of installing equipment at Khmelnitsky NPP. The process is expected to be held with the technical support of Westinghouse.
The form also notes that the Kremlin also promotes misinformation that Ukraine allegedly does not need new large units, and that there are no sufficiently trained specialists in the country for their operation. According to the form, both statements are groundless. He emphasizes that there are more than 5,000 highly skilled atomics in Ukraine, which can ensure safe operation of the station. “Ukraine critically requires new energy capacity through Russian attacks on its power system. The completion of the Khmelnitsky NPP will help to compensate for the losses and reduce the dependence on electricity imports, allowing Ukraine to become its net exporter,” the expert notes.
The form emphasizes that this case is part of the wider hybrid war that Russia is leading in Europe, and that the Bulgarian Parliament should withstand Russian influence, providing the transfer of reactors to Ukraine.
