Lynas plant may be retained if no radioactive waste produced, says minister


PETALING JAYA: Australian rare earth materials producer Lynas may retain their cracking and leaching (C&L) plant in Malaysia if no radioactive waste materials are in the country, says Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Chang Lih Kang.

“If someone is willing to ship the ‘low-risk radioactive waste’ (as claimed) out of our country, the government can consider retaining the C&L plant in Gebeng,” Chang tweeted.
