Kozloduy takes water from the Danube at a point just 100 km from the Serbian border. Furthermore, Bulgaria gave its permission for using of own airfields for NATO's planes. According to Mr. Kashiev, a chairman of Bulgarian committee for peaceful use of atomic power, Gabrovnice airfield located in 50 km from Kozloduy nuclear plant. This airfield was previously used only for Russian aircraft transporting nuclear fuel for the plant. Third nuclear reactor is currently under repair and its shield removed.
Reactor is absolutely unprotected.
Large amount of the spent nuclear fuel' roads stored right next to this reactor, it's also absolutely unprotected. Therefore, Iron Gate's reservoirs act as collectors of all upstream pollution. It is a fact that here also, just like in the case of air pollution, state boundaries do not exist.
