Abstract

In Bulgaria the utilisation of nuclear energy for electricity generation is widely supported by the majority of Bulgarians and most political parties. This article follows the development of nuclear energy generation and policy in Bulgaria and points to some of the many unanswered questions regarding the real need for capacity on such a scale for the country and for the region. However, the political decision for the construction of a second new power plant has been taken, plans are well-advanced. If enough financial resources are ensured and there is support from international financing institutions (including the Russian Gazprombank), there will be a renaissance of nuclear energy in Bulgaria even at the price of a significant negative economic impact and an increase of energy dependence of the country.
