BULGARIA'S parliament has approved plans to seek European Union permission to relaunch two old nuclear reactors mothballed when it joined the EU two years ago.

Law makers voted 140-48 yesterday to invoke an accession treaty clause allowing the reactors to be restarted in an energy crisis. The government says Bulgarian businesses lost 100 million euros (US$129 million) when Russian natural gas supplies were suspended because of a dispute with Ukraine.
