From Mt Weld to Japan?
[edit]No I don't think so. It would be much truer to say that Soljitz will get their RE supply from Gebeng, Kuantan rather than Mt Weld. Ryan Albrey (talk) 04:14, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

Article mentioning Wesfarmers' aquisition interest and other matters

IAEA report findings
[edit]I won’t edit, due to conflict of interest; however, here are some relevant details from the International Atomic Energy Agency report on LAMP.
IAEA report
[edit]“For members of the public living in the vicinities of the plant, a maximum annual dose of 0.0131 mSv has been reported in the RIA [Radiological Impact Assessment].” p. 9
“For staff-members working at LAMP in offices and other areas where workplaces are not classified as controlled and supervised areas (non-radiation workers) a maximum dose of 0.003 mSv/a was estimated in the RIA. For the fish consumption scenario a maximum dose of 0.0075 mSv/a was calculated.” p. 10
“Lynas operational monitoring data obtained from the AELB [Malaysia's Atomic Energy Licensing Board] for the year 2013 showed workers average individual dose of 0.021 mSv/a. In almost all cases doses were below 1 mSv/a, with two cases of exceptions recording 2 and 3 mSv/a.” p.10
“The occupational exposure of workers is well below the dose constraint of 6 mSv/a set by AELB for optimization of radiation protection, and is much lower than the annual exposure limit for radiation workers of 20 mSv/a stipulated by the Malaysian regulations as well as in [3]. Analogously, the doses reported for members of the public are well below the AELB dose constraints of 0.3 mSv/a and the dose limit of 1mSv/a given in the Malaysian regulations.” p. 11
[3] International Atomic Energy Agency, Radiation Protection and Safety of Radiation Sources: International Basic Safety Standards — Series No. GSR Part 3, IAEA, Vienna (2014).
5. Conclusions “evident that the radiological risks to members of the public and to the environment associated with the operation of Lynas Advanced Material Plant are intrinsically low. This finding does not come as a surprise as this is the case already observed in many industries that process NORM [naturally occurring radioactive material].” p. 20
Report of the International Post-Review Mission on the Radiation Safety Aspects of the Operation of a Rare Earth Processing Facility and Assessment of the Implementation of the 2011 Mission Recommendations, 13 – 17 October 2014, Malaysia, Division of Nuclear Fuel Cycle and Waste Technology, International Atomic Energy Agency https://www.iaea.org/sites/default/files/lynas-report-20052015.pdf
ICRP radiation doses
[edit]“For occupational exposure, the limit is 50 mSv in a single year with a maximum of 100 mSv in a consecutive five-year period, and for the public to an average of 1 mSv (0.001 Sv) of effective dose per year, not including medical and occupational exposures.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sievert#ICRP_dose_limits

Information from Fuziah Salleh
[edit]The article Fuziah Salleh had a lot of information about the opposition to one of this company's operations, which was off topic and undue weight in that article. I have copied the information here in case anyone feels that it warrants inclusion here. -- LWG talk 20:01, 29 May 2025 (UTC)

Stop Lynas Rare Earth Refinery Campaign in Kuantan[edit]
Fuziah Salleh has spearheaded the "Stop Lynas Rare Earth Refinery" campaign in Kuantan after being elected as the Member of Parliament for Kuantan in 2008. Fuziah has been raising her concern over the risks of having Lynas Advanced Materials Plant (LAMP) near Kuantan in the Parliament of Malaysia since 18 November 2008.[1] "Concerned Citizen of Kuantan" was a civil society group initiated by Fuziah in December 2008 to discuss actions should be taken by the Kuantan community against the hazardous Lynas rare earth refinery project. Committee of "Concerned Citizen of Kuantan" was formed after a meeting held by Fuziah to discuss the LAMP issues with about 20 residents and professionals from different ethnic groups and NGOs near Kuantan.[2] The awareness campaign about the hazardous LAMP organised between 2008 and 2010 was taxing with limited organisations and individuals willing to render assistance. Also, only the local Chinese media picked up the alleged LAMP issues, while both the English and Malay media didn't. In 2009, Fuziah's team managed to get media coverage of the LAMP problems in Kuantan via the Malaysian television channels, both the NTV7's[3][4][5] and the TV2's[6] Mandarin programs. After fighting a solo battle for more than two years to stop the Lynas plant from being built in Malaysia. In early March 2011, public awareness has been heightened by the articles on the Lynas project published in the New York Times.[7][8][9] At the same time, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster has ramped up fear in the Malaysian people about the risks of radioactive exposure. Since then, the "Stop Lynas Rare Earth Refinery" campaign has started to gain momentum. The anti-Lynas group led by Fuziah Salleh had gradually evolved into a bigger civil society group, i.e. "Save Malaysia Stop Lynas" (SMSL). SMSL was initiated and loosely formed by Fuziah and her PKR team in March 2011, after a signature drive launched and public talk on the urgent need to cease the Lynas plant from commencing operations in Malaysia.[10] Fuziah and team then passed their contacts to the SMSL committee with verbal agreement that all "Stop Lynas Rare Earth Refinery" NGOs, activists, professionals and experts to work together, and under the umbrella of Kuantan MP YB Fuziah Salleh. Along the path of her struggle against LAMP, various anti-Lynas groups, NGOs and NGIs have been mushrooming. During the early days of the "Stop Lynas" campaign, Fuziah led the local residents and environmentalists in petition collecting, PicBadging, leafleting, briefing and a civil protest movement.[11][12][13][14][15] The online portals and social media have played a significant role in keeping more people informed about the hazardous LAMP project in Gebeng, Kuantan. On 2 May 2011, Fuziah presented the Lynas rare earth refinery case study that claimed far-reaching consequences on Kuantan communities' civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights, as well as the environment at the ASEAN Civil Society Conference/ASEAN Peoples' Forum in Jakarta, Indonesia. In May 2011, the LAMP issues have started to attract more attentions from both the local and the international media – especially both Al-Jazeera 101 East[16] and Australian Network Newsline[17] broadcast programs observing the present situation of Kuantan's people over the Lynas project. This followed by the local television channel NTV7 Siasat Mandarin,[18][19] which aired the updated LAMP issues on 9 June 2011 with Malay subtitle. In July 2011, Fuziah also stepped up the campaign in Europe attempting to stop the Lynas rare earth refinery plant from operating in Malaysia, after completed her dialogue on ASEAN Women Leaders with European partners. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Review on Lynas[edit]The government of Malaysia has bowed to public pressure in April 2011[20] and brought in the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to conduct a month-long review by a team of nine international experts on the construction of the Lynas rare earth refinery plant in Gebeng, Kuantan.[21] During the visit of the IAEA-led team to Kuantan, its meeting with stakeholders ended in chaos. Several anti-Lynas activists and journalists were injured and threatened, and 3 UMNO assemblymen from the Barisan Nasional ruling coalition even provoked PKR Kuantan MP Fuziah Salleh when she arrived on the scene of the IAEA review panel.[22][23] The review led by the IAEA panel concluded on 28 June 2011, and it claimed "was not able to identify any non-compliance with international radiation safety standards" by putting forward eleven recommendations for Lynas to meet before beginning operations, which have been adopted by the BN ruling coalition.[24] Despite the claimed hazards, the government of Malaysia is eager for investment by Lynas, even offering a 12-year tax holiday. Fuziah Salleh, local residents,[25] environmentalists and professional bodies such as Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) and Malaysian Bar Council have questioned the credibility of the IAEA review.[26][27] They have called for the LAMP to be scrapped[28][29] by pointing out the IAEA review panel didn't include the medical experts and the IAEA report doesn't assure LAMP will be safe. Also, it is claimed that neither the long-term waste management nor the possible contamination of surface water and atmosphere by radioactive waste material were addressed in the radiological impact assessment (RIA) report. These worries have been further spurred by the New York Times article dated 29 June 2011,[30] reporting the LAMP may be needed redesign work, with memos, e-mail messages and photos from Lynas and its contractors provided to the journalist by the engineers who worked at the LAMP. Regardless of the criticisms, Putrajaya dismissed offhand this New York Times report without probing, and such flippant attitude of the Najib administration was slammed by Fuziah.[31] Anti-Lynas rally[edit]
