A group of Pahang residents have challenged the Atomic Energy Licensing Board (AELB) in court. They are seeking court orders to cancel AELB's award of a Temporary Operating Licence to Lynas on January 30.
Click "Anti Lynas Campaign Goes To Court" for details.
Last week, AELB said, " ....... Lynas Corp's rare earth refinery is safe because the facility has been certified by a registered engineer ......... if anything else happens, we will take it up with the engineer .......".
I suspect this statement is in respond to the withdrawal of AkzoNobel, the largest global paints and coating company, in supplying the resins for the lining of concrete-walled tanks that did not meet safety standard (New York Times). Problems of damped floor and cracked wall were reported.
Under such circumstances, like the MRR2 Kepong Flyover concrete cracking incidence, a world-renowned firm specialist in concrete structure should be called in to make an assessment. Just wonder who is that engineer that certified the said structure.
Baotou rare earth plants, China
Toxic waste.
