KUALA LUMPUR: An official of the Malaysian Nuclear Agency said today the agency was the one who had come up with the idea of extracting thorium from radioactive waste produced at the factory of rare earths producer Lynas Malaysia.

KOTA KINABALU: The government is planning to install the gamma spectrum water monitoring system in Langkawi, Johor, Pahang and Sandakan, Sabah to monitor radioactivity levels in Malaysian waters, says Chang Lih Kang.

PETALING JAYA: Australian rare earths producer Lynas has filed two applications for judicial review of its operating licence conditions in Malaysia.

PETALING JAYA: The decision on Lynas’ appeal to overturn a ban on the processing and import of radioactive materials in Malaysia after July 1 will only be made known next month.
