Nuclear power giant Westinghouse being bought for $7.9 billion

Details: Westinghouse went bankrupt just five years ago, after which owner Toshiba sold it to Brookfield Business Partners for $4.6 billion (including debt).

• Sister investment shop Brookfield Renewable now will invest $2.3 billion for a 51% equity stake in Westinghouse, while Cameco will buy 49% for $2.2 billion.
• The Canadian firms also will assume $3.4 billion in existing debt.

The bottom line: Westinghouse tech is in nearly half the world's existing nuclear reactors, with the FT noting that it also "could benefit from a push to replace suppliers to the more than 30 western reactors that operate on Russian technology."
