About a dozen people spoke out against the plant during a public hearing before representatives of the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board. A week of hearings on Duke Power's Perkins nuclear power plant began Monday. Board members said they would study reports for the remainder of their stay in Davie County. The first day of hearings attracted about 250 people. Davidson and Davie county commissioners have taken opposing stands on the nuclear plant, which is scheduled to be built on the Yadkin River. Davidson County commissioners, who adopted a resolution opposing the plant earlier this month, were represented at the hearing by attorney Jim Monck. Monck said the Davidson commissioners do not believe the county can expand and attract industry unless there is an adequate water supply in the Yadkin River. He said the commission fears the towers used to cool the nuclear reactors would lower the river's water level, causing the river to stagnate. The board is considering alternative sites as well as safety issues relating to the construction of the plant. Eight other sites are under consideration for construction of the plant, but only the Lake Norman area near' Charlotte was mentioned by people appearing before the board Monday. However, Davie County commissioners are backing construction of the Perkins plant. Attorney John Brock, representing the Davie commissioners, said the Davie commissioners have been in favor of the plant from the beginning. "We believe it is needed and important for the welfare and economy of Davie County and the whole area," Brock said. The board gave partial approval for a construction license for the plant in October, but final approval was withheld until the matter of alternative sites and safety issues common to all nuclear plants could be resolved. If the board gives final approval to construction of the plant, work will get underway in 1980, Duke Power officials said. The Perkins plant would be the comnanv's fifth m"-i«>" nlant.
