Perma-Fix Environmental Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: PESI) today announced that
Perma-Fix has been awarded a new task order with a maximum ceiling value of
$1,200,000 to provide waste treatment and disposal services in support of Los
Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). In 2012, the Department of Energy (DOE)'s
prime contractor at Los Alamos, Los Alamos National Security, LLC (LANS) issued
a $250 million "Master Task Order Agreement (MTOA)" for transportation,
recycling, treatment and/or disposal for radioactive and hazardous wastes
generated from clean-up and on-going operations at LANL. Perma-Fix was a member
of Portage, Inc.'s winning proposal under this MTOA and has recently been
awarded a task to process Radioactive Liquid Waste (RLW) bottoms projected to
range from 50,000 to 100,000 gallons annually. Perma-Fix has also won task
orders in recent months under this MTOA from other prime contract holders to
provide waste treatment services for LANL wastes. 


To accomplish the scope of this recent task order, Perma-Fix will receive the
liquid wastes at the Perma-Fix Northwest Facility in Richland, Washington. The
wastes will be volume reduced by utilizing Perma-Fix's thermal destruction
technology and disposed as solid low-level radioactive wastes at a DOE approved
disposal facility.


Dr. Louis F. Centofanti, Chairman and CEO, stated, "We are pleased to assist
Portage through this MTOA task order and continue to support DOE and LANS in
their efforts to safely clean-up and manage wastes generated at LANL. Perma-Fix
has collaborated with DOE, LANS, and Portage over the past several years to
address some of the most problematic waste streams in the DOE complex."
