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
