Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant in Bulgaria has completed its yearly production plan late Monday night, the plant reported.

This year the facility has generated over 1.733 M megawatt hours of energy more than 2004.

Since the beginning of the year, Kozloduy NPP has generated more than 17 B megawatt hours of energy in total. The production plant has been implemented earlier due to optimum task organization and the reduced deadlines for yearly reconstruction and modernization programs, the plant announced.

Bulgaria, which aspires to join the European Union in 2007, accepted EU-safety requirements during its accession negotiations and agreed to close down four of its six nuclear reactors at Kozloduy. The oldest two - Units 1 and 2 - were shut down on December 31, 2002.

All the four remaining units of the facility are currently working full-time.
