The Executive Director of the "Kozloduy" Nuclear Power Plant (NPP), Ivan Genov, is planning to resign from his post.
The news was reported by Darik radio, citing Genov's own words.
The reason for the decision are earlier statements coming from the new Economy, Energy and Tourism Minister, Traicho Traikov, that Genov failed to protect the interests of the NPP.
Traikov said contracts signed for the sale of electric power on the free market were not in the interest of either the plant or the public.
Ivan Genov is currently on vacation and will submit his resignation on August 24.
Genov told Darik that he did the best he could for the NPP and has realized a profit of BGN 179 M just in 2008.
National Electricity Company EAD will be able to sell to Kozloduy NPP EAD part of the existing old equipment, which is located at the site of Belene NPP.
NPP Kozloduy's sixth block was shut down from the country's energy system after the electrical protection was triggered, the plant said.
Former MP and member of New Republic Party, which failed to enter the Parliament Traicho Traikov, predicted a stable government, with good chance to end the mandate during an interview with BTV.
Former Economy and Energy Minister, Traicho Traikov, is among the possible candidates of Bulgaria's junior coalition partner, the Reformist Bloc (RB), to run in the forthcoming presidential elections in the autumn.
Ivan Genov, former CEO of Bulgaria’s Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant, has insisted that he leaves the N-plant in very good condition.
Discharged Kozloduy NPP Chief Executive Ivan Genov has explained the move with lack of political affiliation.
