Bulgaria's Parliament confirmed Wednesday the country's decision to abandon the Belene nuclear power plant project.
The vote was prompted by a recent referendum on the construction of a new nuclear power plant in the country.
Under the law, the recent referendum results imposed for the Belene NPP to be put back on the Parliament's agenda, as voter turnout slightly exceeded 20%. 61% of the voters said "yes" to the construction of a new nuclear power plant; 39% cast a "no" ballot.
