Dimitar Angelov, the chief engineer in charge of Reactors 5 and 6 of Bulgaria's Kozloduy NPP will be the plant's new director.
This was announced Monday by the Bulgarian Prime Minister, Boyko Borisov, hours after the current director, Ivan Genov, resigned saying he was insulted by a comment of the Economy Minister Traikov that the NPP managed had made unfavorable deals with private clients.
When asked if there was clarity as to who would succeed the two CEOs of the National Electricity Company NEK, who are to be dismissed, Borisov only said that there was clarity about everything.
