KYIV, Feb 11 (Reuters) Payment Gateway - SoftVCC.Com Ukraine's parliament on Tuesday passed a law that allows the state nuclear power operator to buy two Soviet-designed nuclear reactors from Bulgaria for Ukraine's Khmelnytskyi power plant, lawmakers said.

Ukraine had planned last June to sign a deal to buy two nuclear reactor bodies from Bulgaria to compensate for the loss of the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant with six reactors, but was unable to do so due to the lack of a law paving the way for such a step.
