LYNAS PROTEST DURING CHUA SOI LEK AND LIM GUAN ENG DEBATE

During the Chua Soi Lek/ Lim Guan Eng debate, a group of malaysians decided to voice out their concerns. Shouting "Stop Lynas, Stop Cynide, Stop Corruption and Save Jalan Sultan" they stood strong from 5pm to almost 7pm outside the entrance of Berjaya Times Square.Chua Soi Lek opted not to see the protesters and walked out another door but Lim Guan Eng and Lim Kit Siang happily came to shake hand and listen to the protestors.

Guys!! Keep it up!!!

The longer the half-life of a substance, the less its radioactivity

LEAD-208 WHICH IS USED IN YOUR CAR BATTERIES HAVE AN EVEN LONGER HALF LIFE OF 19 MILLION BILLION YEARS AND AS SUCH IS REGARDED AS NON-RADIOACTIVE i.e. it decays extremely slowly and therefore the radioactivity is incredible low

So it's silly and illogical to say that thorium-232 long half life of 14 billion years means that it is dangerous. It means that it is only very weakly radioactive and can be safely held in your hands

"LYNAS PLANT IS LARGEST AND SAFEST IN THE WORLD"

Christoph Wilhelm, in charge of decommissioning Germany’s nuclear plants from Karlsruhr Institute of Technology:

“I WOULD MOVE MY WIFE + CHILDREN TO LIVE IN THAT PLANT BECAUSE THE BACKGROUND RADIATION IS LOWER THAN WHERE I LIVE IN GERMANY"

Wong Tack = WRONG TRACK?

UNSCEAR (THE UNITED NATIONS SCENTIFIC COMMITTEE ON THE EFFECTS OF ATOMIC RADIATION) HAS FINALLY ADMITTED THAT WE CAN’T USE THE LNT HYPOTHESIS TO PREDICT CANCER FROM LOW DOSES OF RADIATION.

IT CONCLUDED WHAT WE IN NUCLEAR SCIENCE HAVE BEEN SAYING FOR DECADES

RADIATION DOSES LESS THAN ABOUT 10 rem ( 0.1 Sv ) ARE SAFE

(Note: 0.1 Sv = 100 mSv or 50,000 times Lynas worst case scenario)

The linear no-threshold dose hypothesis (LNT) does not apply to doses less than 10 rem (0.1 Sv)

COMPARISON OF RADIOACTIVITY IN Bq (number of atoms decaying in 1second)

Pure Thorium-232 = 4,080 Bq/gm

Pure Potassium-40 = 254,000 Bq/gm

Naturally Occurring Potassium (3 different isotopes) in our body and food = 31.825 Bq/gm

Artificially created Plutonium-238 = 634,000,000,000 Bq/gm (1/2 life=87.7 years)

Polonium-210 from Uranium-238 decay = 166,000,000,000,000 Bq/gm (1/2 life=138 days)

Monazite ore from Amang or Tin Tailings in Malaysia = 284 Bq/gm

Lynas Rare Earth Waste = 6 Bq/gm
