简单计算莱纳斯（Lynas）每年所生产的辐射废料 - 钍（Thorium）!

莱纳斯声称它的稀土只含0.16％钍。 这可是一个疑问，因为莱纳斯声称稀土来自澳洲Mt. Weld - 现在我们知道关丹的稀土提炼厂也将会处理来自马拉维的稀土。(www.infomine.com/index/pr/PA536540.PDF)

莱纳斯曾提到钍对稀土生产的比例是55：10,000。这意味着每10，000公吨的稀土生产，将产生55公吨的钍为副产品。

莱纳斯计划每年生产至少22,000公吨的稀土精矿。那不是意味着关丹每年得处理121公吨的钍？

55/10，000 x 22,000公吨 = 121公吨

这些钍产量肯定是一座庞大的钍山丘吧？

为什么关丹人得接受这种辐射性副产品？

为什么莱纳斯不把每年生产的121公吨钍废料运回澳洲？

为什么澳洲不肯回收这些放射性副产物，而马来西亚却必须接受呢？

莱纳斯进口马来西亚的稀土原料侥幸逃过了监控准绳和漏洞，被解读为非放射性物质。但经过提煉加工后的稀土，将遗留大量放射性副产品钍在关丹。

为何原子能執照局(AELB)總監会忽略稀土矿和其提炼后残留的尾矿是不一样的的事实！矿石可能含有0.16％的钍，但肯定的是其经过提炼后的废料可是纯粹的钍，。

停止莱纳斯！保护马来西亚。

Press Release

MP Kuantan

It takes simple arithmetic to calculate the Amount of Thorium produced by Lynas as a by-product per year.

Lynas claims that its rare earth has 0.16%thorium. (Even this is questionable because that’s rare earth from Mt Weld as claimed by Lynas - now we know that LAMP will also be processing rare earth from Malawi in their refinery in Kuantan).

It has been mentioned by Lynas that the ratio of thorium to rare earth produced is 55 to 10,000. Meaning that with 10,000 metric tons of rare earth produced, there will be 55 metric tons of thorium as by-product.

LAMP plans to produce at least 22,000 metric tons of rare earth concentrate per year. Now wouldn’t that leaves Kuantan with 121 metric tons of thorium accumulated per year to deal with?

55/10,000 x 22,000 metric tons = 121 metric tons

That’s quite a small hill of thorium surely?

Why does Kuantan folks have to accept this radioactive by product?

Why does Lynas not ship back 120 metric tons of thorium per year back to Australia?

Why Australia does not want to accept the radioactive waste and Malaysia now have to accept it?

Lynas gets away with bringing the concentrated rare earth into Malaysia as non-radioactive material. Then after processing, the thorium as a radioactive waste by-product is left in Kuantan.

How can the DG of AELB miss the fact that the rare earth ore is not the same as the tailings after processing!!! The ore may have 0.16% thorium, but the waste product is surely thorium, as pure as can be.

STOP LYNAS! SAVE MALAYSIA.
