Nuclear problem
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Bulgaria, hoping to get more than dollars 30m ( pounds 20m) in Western aid to improve nuclear safety, said it would not be able to close its old nuclear reactors before 1996 - the time limit set by donors, Reuter reports from Sofia.
Bulgarian officials are due in London today to negotiate the first instalment of aid with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. The bank has said they have to stop using four reactors at the Soviet-built Kozloduy nuclear power plant by 1996. The station has been hit by a series of fires and leaks in recent years but has undergone extensive repairs.
