The Parliamentary SelectCommittee (PSC) on a rare earth processing plant in Gebeng, Kuantanconcluded that the factory is not a nuclear plant and proposed atemporary operating license (TOL) be issued for the plant tocommence operation. This was among the six findings found in the PSC report on LynasAdvanced Materials Plant (LAMP) which also contained 31 suggestionstabled in the Dewan Rakyat today. "The committee proposes that a Class A TOL be issued so that theLAMP project can process limited lanthanide concentrates in stagesas well as being supervised directly by enforcement agencies," thereport said. However, the committee stressed that LAMP needed to adhere to allregular licensing requirements as well as additional conditionsimposed in the TOL and the data obtained at this stage would be thebase for license approval.
Based on scientific facts, legal provisions and informationobtained from experts, the committee is satisfied that the LAMPproject is a chemical factory which produces rare earth and is nota nuclear plant nor is it involved in mining. "The committee is satisfied the LAMP project has complied with allnecessary standards and legal requirements in Malaysia based oninternational standard practice. "In fact, some of the legal provisions and standards imposed onLAMP are more stringent compared to international standards," thereport said. The Lynas project is a project of Lynas Malaysia Sdn Bhd whichaimed to process raw lanthanide concentrates imported from MountWeld in Western Australia to produce rare earth oxides andcarbonates at the Gebeng Industrial Area in Kuantan Pahang.
On March 20, the Dewan Rakyat passed a proposal to set up acommittee comprising members of Parliament to study issues ofpublic concerns as well as the safety standard of the project.However only five Barisan Nasional and one independent members tookpart after the opposition turned down nominations for thecommittee. Among the issues raised by certain parties related to Lynas werethe safety of radiation exposure, environment, health and residuemanagement. The committee said that the LAMP project had also provided acontrol system as required under national legislations andinternational standards to ensure public safety and health as wellas environmental protection for the plant to operate temporarily. The report also explained that lanthanide concentrates used byLynas factory is not radioactive material but is a naturallyoccurring radioactive material (NORM). He said the residue produced from LAMP was also not radioactivewaste but residue containing NORM.
"As the product contains elements of natural radioactivity such asuranium and torium, it is not controlled in many countries but thematerial is controlled in Malaysia by the Atomic Energy LicensingBoard," he said. According to the committee, the Lynas factory is not a majoraccident hazard installation. On the management of residues, the committee proposed that theresidue produced by LAMP be brought out of Malaysia if a study on arecycling plant could not identify a location. Apart from that, the committee also proposed that the premiseslicense should only be issued by the Kuantan Municipal Council toLynas after it had met all licensing approvals and issuanceconditions of AELB.
The committee also proposed that a monitoring committee be set upcomprising related agencies, non-governmental organisations andauthorised experts to monitor LAMP's operation continuously. The committee also held three public hearings in May and meetingswith foreign rare earth experts before preparing the report.
