EDMONTON - While a slim majority of Albertans are in support of a nuclear power plant in the province, one quarter are strongly opposed and many are concerned about the possibility of an accident and the storage of nuclear waste, a new poll suggests.

Support for the construction of a nuclear facility in Alberta was highest among residents in Edmonton and Calgary and lowest among residents in the province's rural north, according to a Environics Research Group poll released Friday.
