A kayaker’s view of the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge. Alex Temblador I didn’t have much of a plan when I decided to take my kayak out on the Trinity River near downtown Dallas. I’d done just enough research to ensure that the weather and current were favorable and I’d be finished before five o’clock traffic. Work had been stressful, and I wanted to do something strenuous, fun, and full of wonder. Kayaking the Trinity River felt like my best option. I’ve lived in Dallas since 2015, and though I’ve always been aware of the Trinity River, I didn’t put much thought into it until last year. I bought a house situated twenty minutes south of downtown Dallas and I cross the river by highway on a weekly basis.

“It’s not cotton candy” Meanwhile, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission may soon consider new regulations that would allow WCS and other commercial sites to accept a higher level of nuclear waste than Texas currently allows. The WCS facility is permitted to accept Class A, B, and C nuclear waste categories that fall below high-level material like spent nuclear fuel. But certain material, much of it generated by the decommissioning of nuclear power plants, falls into what experts call a gray area between the lower-level categories and spent nuclear fuel. It has an equally ambiguous name: “Greater than Class C.” “These are some of the most dangerous materials in the world,” “It’s not cotton candy.” ....
Waste Control Specialists has been disposing of the nation’s low-level nuclear waste including tools, building materials and protective clothing exposed to radioactivity for a decade at a hazardous waste facility in Andrews County, on the New Mexico border.
