"I'm absolutely terrified if they put in this nuclear waste storage," says neighbor Norman Johnson. "We have quite enough as it is, and if they bring in the spent fuel rods from all the other plants, it'll make the possibility of some dreadful accident entirely too probable to think about."
TheNuclear Regulatory Commissionwill have a hearing 9:30 a.m. Thursday at N.C. State's McKimmon Center.
