Description	South Carolina's stalled nuclear power project involving two half-built reactors at the V.C. Summer Nuclear Station could resume construction. A private company, Brookfield Asset Management, has offered $2.7 billion to the state-owned utility Santee Cooper and a small share of the power generated if an agreement is reached to complete and operate the reactors. The project was abandoned in 2017 due to delays and cost overruns. The deal includes Brookfield keeping at least 75% of the power generated, with negotiations expected to last up to two years. The project faces challenges including inspection of equipment after eight years of exposure, renewal of permits and licenses, and historical cost overruns associated with the reactor type.
