Summary note

A file of correspondence concerning the visit of a U.S. delegation of power specialists to Bulgaria. The delegates were received by the Minister for Power and Fuel, Konstantin Popov, and made a study of the Bulgarian power situation. A return visit of Bulgarian specialists to the U.S. is envisaged in the future. It is reported that Popov had spoken of the first unit of an atomic power station, supplied to Bulgaria by the Soviet Union, that was due to go into operation by 1971. The unit will use heavy water rather than the more recent system of breeder reactors, technology that the Americans claim will be obsolete by the time that the reactor comes into operation.
