PETALING JAYA: Australian rare earth materials producer Lynas will not be allowed to carry out any activity that will produce radioactive waste in Malaysia after July 2023, says Chang Lih Kang.
The Science, Technology and Innovation Minister said Lynas has been informed of the decision by the Atomic Energy Licensing Board , where its request to drop four conditions related to cracking and leaching activities, the generation of Water Leach Purification residues and the importation of lanthanide concentrates from Australia was not considered.
It was previously reported that under the conditions of its licence renewed under the then Pakatan Harapan government in 2020, Lynas was expected to develop a permanent disposal facility to store its water leach purification residue. After that period, Lynas would no longer be allowed to import raw materials containing naturally occurring radioactive material into Malaysia.
