We know that the activities of Bulatom require investment of resources and efforts from all its members. In a free, modern society, joint work within a non-governmental organization like Bulatom is the only right way to state and defend a common position. With your help, we will continue to protect the Bulgarian nuclear industry in the future. I have always believed that this is not just an end in itself, but is also for the benefit of the entire Bulgarian society.”
