TOKYO, May 26 (Reuters) - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd (7011.T), Japan's biggest heavy machinery company, said on Monday it was considering building a new plant to make nuclear power reactor vessels and other equipment in Japan.

The investment, next to its Akashi plant in central Japan, would be in line with its strategy to receive orders and build two pressurised water reactors every year over the next decade, a company spokesman said.
