: Lynas Malaysia today maintained that its water leached purification residue is Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material .
“WLP contains low level, naturally occurring radionuclides, and the lanthanide concentrate processed at the Lynas Malaysia plant has the same low level of NORM as the WLP residue,” its general manager in charge of radiation safety, regulations and compliance, Prof Dr Ismail Bahari, said in a statement.
WLP is also classified as NORM by the International Atomic Energy Agency , the international scientific benchmark for radiation safety, he said. “The government’s Review Committee found Lynas Malaysia’s operations are low risk, compliant with relevant regulations, and that residue storage facilities are operated in a proper manner,” Ismail said.
