The project to build a second nuclear power plant on the Bulgarian side of the Danube River, 100km to the east of the existing one at Kozloduy, was launched by the country's former communist regime a few years before its fall in late 1989.
Projekt izgradnje druge nuklearne elektrane na bugarskoj strani rijeke Dunav, 100 kilometara istočno od postojeće nuklearne elektrane u Kozloduyu, pokrenuo je bivši komunistički režim zemlje nekoliko godina prije no što je srušen koncem 1989. godine.
