KUALA LUMPUR : The government needs more information on Western Australia's reported refusal to accept radioactive waste from Lynas' rare earth processing plant in Gebeng, Kuantan, says Deputy Prime M

KUALA LUMPUR : The government needs more information on Western Australia's reported refusal to accept radioactive waste from Lynas' rare earth processing plant in Gebeng, Kuantan, says Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.

Yesterday, a local news portal reported Western Australia's Mining, Petroleum, Energy and Industry Relations Minister Bill Johnston as saying that Australia would not accept such waste back from overseas although he acknowledged that the best means of disposal was to its place of origin. The ministry wants the country to help find a way to facilitate disposing of the Water Leach Purification residue, which was supposed to be sent to Australia before September as part of the company's licensing requirements.As of December 2018, WLP waste accumulated at the Lynas facility stands at 451,564 metric tonnes while NUF waste is at 1.113 million metric tonnes.
