Summary

Strategic framework for Korean investment in U.S. nuclear reactors. Korea’s framework commits up to $120 billion to support eight reactors on U.S. federal sites, including six Westinghouse AP1000s and two Korean APR1400s that also use Westinghouse technology. The terms are non-binding and subject to final negotiations.

Key Figures

• The framework provides for a 5%–10% cornerstone equity investment by Korea in Westinghouse. Westinghouse is also expected to receive an upfront payment, guaranteed scope of work on the APR1400 reactors and a fuel-fabrication contract.
• This framework is separate from the 2025 partnership targeting at least $80 billion for Westinghouse reactors and the DOE’s 2026 partnership, which includes a $17.5 billion conditional loan arrangement for long-lead items.

Investor Takeaways

• Final negotiations will determine whether the non-binding framework becomes a definitive commitment and the terms and timing of its funding.
• Watch for confirmation of the Korean equity investment and Westinghouse’s expected reactor work and fuel-fabrication contract.
