Perma-Fix Facility Certified for Disposal at Nevada Test Site

OAK RIDGE, Tenn., April 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Perma-Fix 
Environmental Services, Inc. (Nasdaq: PESI - News; BSE: PESI - News; 
Germany: PES.BE) announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary East 
Tennessee Materials & Energy Corp. (M&EC) has been approved to dispose 
of low-level and mixed waste at the Nevada Test Site (NTS) of the U.S. 
Department of Energy (DOE) National Nuclear Security Administration.

This NTS approval, the first to be granted for both types of waste to a 
commercial treatment provider, is a key element in the new 
Perma-Fix/M&EC service offering for higher activity and other specialty 
waste streams. The NTS disposal facility, which accepts only DOE-owned 
low-level and mixed low- level waste, is unique among commercial and DOE 
disposal sites in its ability to dispose of these specialty waste streams.

Dr. Louis F. Centofanti, Perma-Fix chairman and chief executive officer, 
said, "We are pleased to be the first commercial treatment provider to 
be granted the permission to use the services of the Nevada Test Site. 
This certification, coupled with NTS's recently acquired permission to 
dispose of mixed low-level wastes and the expansion of the 
Perma-Fix/M&EC facility, provides a great resource to DOE in its efforts 
to perform clean-up projects across the U.S."
