The 1,000-megawatt Unit Five of the Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant will be switched off for scheduled annual maintenance on April 24, the NPP said on Thursday. The maintenance works are expected to be completed by the end of May.

They will include preventive technical maintenance and repairs of the equipment and systems, trials, specialized inspections and checks to secure the unit's safe and reliable long-term operation. 

The reactor will be refuelled for the 29th fuel cycle.
