"It's all consuming." Kellie Motyka of the Town of Niagara is one of more than 120 homeowners living with radiation concerns.
Testing has determined that Motyka's property has elevated levels of radiation.
"It's all I can think about. It's all I hear everywhere I go," she said on WBEN Wednesday.
Her property is one of four that the Environmental Protection Agency has agreed to relocate.
But Motyka said those plans are still being sorted out.
"They offered us hotel rooms for a night or two. But it's not feasible to move an entire family with pets to a hotel for a day or two. So, for now, we're still in our home."
In the meantime she admits she doesn't know where she's going, or for how long, or what will happen to her property.
"Is it going to be safe? Are they going to get it all? I don't know how I feel about ever coming back here after we leave," she added.
Motyka lives with her husband in the home's in law quarters and her sister and niece live on the other side.
Regarding the state's response to the emergency, she said:
They've known about this for a long time. They started sending letters out in March and they seem to be upset nowthat we're upset. They told us this was on our properties and now that we're upset, they're upset. How do you expect people to react when you tell us this?," she asked.
