Decommissioning and Disposal of Former Rare Earth Processing Facility
Geosyntec was the design-build Contractor for two projects involving the remediation and disposal of low-level Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM) wastes at two sites in Malaysia. These sites are associated with a plant that extracted rare earth elements from local tin ores. Because of the naturally occurring radioactivity contained in the raw materials, these productions were accompanied with by-products and residues containing low-level thorium hydroxide and uranium hydroxide.
