Several residents spoke out again concerned about the waste coming through Midland County.

One concerned citizen after another addressed commissioners about why they believe the transfer of high level nuclear waste is a bad idea.

"I have two kids. Two and three years old and the long term effects of what could happen to them if there was some kind of spill or exposure.. I just don't want my kids having to go through something like that” says concerned resident Ignacio Lopez.

But Monday morning brought out people on both sides of the fence.

Some argue those opposed don't understand the proposed project.

"This is a very regulated industry one of the most regulated industries in the united states and it has an impeccable safety track record. I feel like a lot of the arguments against it are just very emotionally based” says Lauren Melear who is in favor of the nuclear waste transfer.

After hours of back and forth, several representatives with waste control specialist in Andrews spoke.

Senior VP Elecia Sanchez says the rail carts transporting the waste are indestructible.

"The reality is that there wouldn't be a spill. The way that the cask is designed it is designed to withstand anything that could happen to it so we are very confident that there would not be a spill.”
