Carbon emissions saved annually by a single unit
1 nuclear capacity = millions of households
A single unit with a capacity of around 1000 MW can supply electricity to over 2 million households, ensuring continuous and predictable operation regardless of weather conditions.
Over 90% capacity factor
Nuclear power plants operate with one of the highest capacity factors in the energy sector—over 90% annually—ensuring near-continuous power generation.
Near zero CO₂ emissions during generation
Electricity produced from nuclear power does not emit carbon dioxide during operation, making it making it one of the cleanest energy sources available.
Designed for decades to come
Modern nuclear power plants are designed to operate for 60 years or more, with the possibility of lifetime extensions subject to strict safety requirements.
Safety through independent systems
Nuclear facilities rely on a multi-layered safety approach, incorporating independent active and passive protection systems designed to prevent and mitigate any deviations.
One of the most regulated industries in the world
The nuclear energy sector is subject to stringent national and international oversight, including continuous monitoring, inspections, and licensing requirements.
The future of nuclear energy
AP1000® - pressurized water reactor
The construction of new Units 7 and 8 at the Kozloduy site is a priority for the national energy sector and the economic development of Bulgaria.
Proven technology
The AP1000 design features fully passive safety systems that use natural forces such as gravity, pressure, and natural circulation to maintain reactor cooling without human intervention, even in emergency situations.
