US-Saudi nuclear pact names Westinghouse likely AP1000 builder

The United States and Saudi Arabia signed a peaceful nuclear cooperation and safeguards agreement on July 23, opening the door to a Saudi civilian nuclear program that could see Westinghouse build AP1000 reactors under a multi-decade, multi-billion-dollar deal. The agreement is contingent on Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords and still requires congressional review before any reactor contracts can be finalized.
