The company Lynas mills and refines the concentrated rare earth bearing ore from its Mt. Weld/Australia mine in its LAMP facility in Kuantan/Malaysia. The ore concentrate has high concentrations of thorium and small concentrations of uranium as by-products. Oeko-Institute was commissioned with an independent evaluation of the environmental aspects of the plant. Several aspects show serious deficiencies in applying emission standards. The largest radiological problem is that the operator plans to re-use its tailings as road-building material. Large collective doses would result from this practice.
