The nuclear power plant Higashidori (Japanese东 通 原子 力 発 电 所, Higashidori genshiryoku hatsudensho ) is a nuclear power plant in Japan. It is located on the eastern side of the peninsula in the municipality Shimokita Higashidori in Aomori Prefecture. The power plant is since 2005 on the net. The plant is 3.58 km2 in size and owned by the company Tōhoku Denryoku.
In 2005, a BWR reactor ( BWR ) went into operation. Tohoku planning another type reactor ABWR with 1,385 MW of gross capacity. The current reactor has arisen following the experience of Onagawa -3. Was built the reactor from Toshiba.
In the same area will also Tōkyō Denryoku ( TEPCO ) establish the type ABWR two 1,385 - MW reactors. With the construction of the first block was started in January 2011. After the nuclear disaster at Fukushima TEPCO presented the work in first.
