Why is Lynas bad for Malaysia? • A large amount of radioactive waste will be produced. It is dangerous to health. • The radioactive waste will remain dangerous for millions of years • Radioactive waste should not be stored in an area where 700,000 people live (in other countries, they even bury such waste deep inside mountains) • Radioactive dust can be blown around by the wind (even to faraway places) Continue Fighting Against Lynas!
