Description	A private company, Brookfield Asset Management, has offered $2.7 billion to revive and complete the construction of two abandoned nuclear reactors at the V.C. Summer Nuclear Station in Jenkinsville, South Carolina. The project was abandoned in 2017 after falling behind schedule and incurring massive cost overruns. The deal involves Brookfield paying the state-owned utility Santee Cooper and receiving at least 75% of the power generated, which they can sell mostly to customers like data centers. The project requires extensive inspections, permit renewals, and license renewals before construction can resume.
