of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Sofia
and
Kozloduy NPP plc. |
 |
Nuclear Research Institute Rez plc
and
SKODA JS a.s. Plzen
|
 |
Fortum Nuclear Services Ltd., Espoo
and
VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland
|
 |
Hungarian Academy of Sciences KFKI Atomic
Energy Research Institute,
Budapest
|
 |
JAVYS, a.s., Jaslovske Bohunice
and
UJD, Slovak regulatory body
and
VUJE, a.s., Trnava
|
| | |
 | to fund VVER-440 PIE which will be performed in Research Institute of Atomic Reactors (RIAR),
Dimitrovgrad, Russia, in 2008-2010 |
