Company confirms it is fully compliant with internationally-accepted exposure limits.
One of the residues produced at Lynas is WLP, an iron phosphate material that is a very low-level naturally occurring radioactive material .
Under the International Atomic Energy Agency classification scheme , the WLP residue is classified as very low-level waste. Anti-Lynas activists continue to mislead the Malaysian people about WLP residue being unmanageable radioactive waste. The 2014 IAEA Report states: “The radiological risks to members of the public and to the environment, associated with the operation of Lynas Advanced Material Plant, are intrinsically low.
Anti-Lynas activists also continue to make misleading statements about similarities with Asian Rare Earth at Bukit Merah. “The small amount of thorium and uranium in the WLP generated by Lynas are not man-made but naturally-occurring radionuclides found in soil, water and in food.
