Brookfield Asset Management filed an 8-K announcing a U.S.-Korea strategic framework agreement to deploy Westinghouse nuclear technology. The non-binding framework commits up to $120 billion of Korean investment to finance eight large reactors — six Westinghouse AP1000s and two Korean APR1400s — on U.S. federal sites. Korea will also take a 5%–10% equity stake in Westinghouse. This builds on the October 2025 partnership targeting $80 billion in Westinghouse reactor deployment and is separate from the DOE's June 2026 $17.5 billion conditional loan.
