Here's the press release:

It's the first completely new deal brokered by the Trump-era LPO, a sign of Energy Secretary Chris Wright's recent pledge to focus funding on nuclear projects.

The funding will go to Constellation, the station's owner, and cover the majority of estimated $1.6 billion restart cost. If successful, it'll likely be the nation's 2nd reactor restart, assuming Holtec International's revival of the Palisades nuclear plant goes as planned in the next few months.
