Lynas refutes rep's claim that it has broken law on waste storage

It says a government review committee has found the company has abided by storage regulations.

KUALA LUMPUR: Lynas has denied the assertion by Semambu assemblyman Lee Chean Chung that the rare earth plant has broken the law by storing a huge amount of scheduled waste or Neutralisation Underflow Residue .

Mashal added that the findings were consistent with several independent and scientific reviews, including by the International Atomic Energy Agency. As a scheduled waste under Malaysian regulations, Mashal said it is regulated by Department of Environment, which periodically consented to the NUF storage on site while allowing Lynas to pursue research and development on the NUF reuse.
