The plant would start lowering the reactor's capacity from 10:00pm (2000 GMT) Tuesday, the power station's management said in a statement.

The other reactor was working at maximum capacity, the statement said.
Four 440-megawatt units at Kozloduy were closed in 2002 and 2006 as a condition for joining the European Union in 2007. The old Soviet-built reactors were deemed unsafe.
