The deal's scope covers engineering, procurement and licensing support from Westinghouse, in addition to access to Westinghouse intellectual property required for the project.

"The agreement has continued to advance through the approval process and will become effective with the receipt of all necessary approvals."

In order to enable time for all approvals, the interim assessment agreement has been extended through July 20.

The recently announced agreement between Georgia Power and Toshiba, which is the parent company of Westinghouse, will remain in place and continue to affirm the value of Toshiba's guarantee at $3.68bn.

The first payment of $300m from Toshiba under the agreement is expected in October.
