Perma-Fix Environmental Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: PESI) today announced that its
subsidiary Perma-Fix Environmental Services UK Ltd has been awarded a contract
initially valued at approximately $2,200,000 (£ 1,300,000) by Dounreay Site
Restoration Ltd (DSRL) located in Thurso, Scotland. This contract provides for
the disposition of mercury waste streams for the Dounreay Site. This award was

Perma-Fix has designed a mobile system for DSRL, utilizing patented treatment
technology, which will treat radioactively contaminated mercury wastes to
facilitate safe disposal. Dr. Louis F. Centofanti, Chairman and CEO, stated, "We
are pleased to provide our mercury treatment technology to DSRL for treatment of
this former orphan waste stream. We have successfully used this technology in

years. Our UK office has been working with DSRL on a number of waste challenges
and it is gratifying that we have our first opportunity to assist DSRL with
