Korea would make a cornerstone equity investment of between 5% and 10% in Westinghouse under a framework agreed between the United States and the Republic of Korea, according to a press release filed with the SEC by Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. (CIK 1937926), one of Westinghouse's two shareholders.
The framework commits up to $120 billion of investment by Korea to help finance the construction of eight large nuclear reactors in the United States (Form 8-K, filed 1 October 2026, Exhibit 99.1).
The reactors would be built on federal sites: six Westinghouse AP1000 reactors and two Korean APR1400 reactors, which also incorporate Westinghouse technology (Form 8-K, filed 1 October 2026).
Westinghouse would receive an upfront payment, a guaranteed scope of work on the reactors and a contract to provide fuel-fabrication services, the release says. It does not give the size of the upfront payment (Form 8-K, filed 1 October 2026).
Brookfield says the framework builds on an October 2025 strategic partnership between the Department of Commerce, Westinghouse and its shareholders, Brookfield and Cameco, to fund the deployment of at least $80 billion of reactors, and on a Department of Energy partnership announced in June 2026 that included a $17.5 billion conditional loan funding arrangement (Form 8-K, filed 1 October 2026).
Cameco Corporation (CIK 1009001), Westinghouse's other shareholder, said in its own filing that it does not expect any potential equity participation under the framework to affect its ownership interest in Westinghouse. Cameco's release refers to a potential equity investment by Korea but does not give a percentage (Form 6-K, filed 1 October 2026).
Both companies state that the terms are non-binding and subject to final negotiations (Form 8-K and Form 6-K, filed 1 October 2026).
The filings do not state the price or valuation of the Korean stake, the size of the upfront payment, or how any stake would be issued or transferred. Loro has made no approach to the company. Figures are as reported in Brookfield Asset Management's and Cameco's SEC filings.
