Radioactive wastes to be exported from Malaysia, according to Lynas’ Temporary Operating Licence

Hello, didn’t Lynas say wastes to be exported? Malaysiakini  Dec 10, 2012 Blogsmith: Now is the time to ask the court to suspend the temporary operating licence because AELB DG has said that they will enforce Lynas’ pledge to export the waste.

From this Malaysiakini report: Atomic Energy Licensing Board (AELB) director-general Raja Abdul Aziz Raja Adnan has clarified that the regulatory body will enforce Lynas’ pledge to export all its waste in the form of commercial products overseas.

“The management and removal of residue is an integral part of the Temporary Operating Licence (TOL) conditions and agreements and is permanently documented in the licence document issued to Lynas on Sept 5, 2012.

“Issue of removal of residue being non-binding for Lynas, does not arise. It is legally binding and AELB will enforce it.” http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/216281
