October 31 (SeeNews) - Bulgaria's sole nuclear power plant Kozloduy on Wednesday said it has reconnected its 1,000-megawatt Unit Six to the power grid after a planned annual maintenance.
The unit, which was shut down in early September, was reconnected to the grid late on Tuesday, Kozloduy said in a statement.
Kozloduy remained with just two operating reactors after closing a second pair of 440-megawatt units at the end of 2006 to allay nuclear safety concerns of the European Union. The first pair of 440-MW reactors at the plant was closed down in 2002.
Bulgaria joined the EU in January.
