Japan's Higashidori Nuclear Power Station, in the Aomori prefecture, about 600 kilometers north of Tokyo, is a unique site the station is split into four units, two of which belong to Tohoku Electric Power Company Incorporated, while the remaining two units belong to Tokyo Electric Power Company Incorporated TEPCO.

In recent months, Tohoku announced the beginning of construction on a second nuclear unit.

In March 2014, TEPCO will begin construction on a second 1,385-megawatt MW advanced boiling water reactor unit, Unit 2, at the Higashidori Nuclear Power Station. Currently, TEPCO is in the preliminary design phase, which it expects to have completed by August next year. TEPCO will then focus on selecting a turnkey contractor by January 2013.

When fully operational, the Higashidori Nuclear Power Station will be able to produce 5,255 megawatts of power.
