The Malaysian govt dismissed a citizens appeal against a Lynas (LYSCF) rare earth plant, removing the main obstacle to start of production at the site.

A statement from the Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry, which considered the appeal, said there was "no strong justification nor scientific or technical basis" to set aside the temporary operating licence given to the plant in January.

The ministry told Lynas, the firm must submit plans to immobilise radioactive elements in the waste it will produce and come up with an emergency response plan on dust control.

"We already have the answers for the two new conditions," Mashal Ahmad, the plant's managing director told Reuters.
