Bulgaria's Kozloduy nuclear power plant (NPP) realised a production that was 6.31 per cent above the planned production for 2007.

The plant produced more than 14.643 billion kWh of energy in 2007, while the scheduled amount of energy to be produced was nearly 13.775 billion kWh.

Kozloduy reached its production target for 2007 as early as on December 14, Focus news agency said.

The unit five and six of the plan were functioning at full power, the plant said. Two of the reactors of six-unit Kozloduy NPP were shut down in 2002, the other two were closed on December 31 2006 as precondition for Bulgaria's EU accession.

Nearly 83.5 per cent of the capacity of the two reactors was used for production. Unit five produced 7.134 billion kWh of energy and unit six produced 7.509 billion kWh. The figures were record-breaking for the whole period of exploitation of the units.
