Anti-Nuclear advocates will ring in the New Year with a hearing down in Rockville, Maryland. The subject? The Oyster Creek Nuclear Power Plant in Ocean County's Lacey Township.

A group that's against the continued operation of the nation's oldest nuclear power plant wins an audience with federal nuclear regulators next month.

Anti Nuclear activists are asking the Governor's office and Nuclear Regulatory Commission to keep Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station offline until the plant's emergency procedures and evacuation plans are re-evaluated following Hurricane Sandy.

Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station is only seven years from closure, and local legislators, residents, and government officials met in Lacey address what the region will do when one of its largest employers closes down for good.

What impacts can the shore expect when the Oyster Creek nuclear power plant closes?
