Perma-Fix Announces Eighth Annual Mixed Waste Treatment Forum
ATLANTA, Dec. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Perma-Fix Environmental
Services, Inc. (Nasdaq: PESI) today announced it will hold its eighth annual
Mixed Waste Treatment Forum December 15-18, 2008 in Nashville, Tennessee. This
year's conference theme is "Real Innovators ... Solving our Nation's Waste
Challenges," which focuses on innovations in the nuclear waste management
arena. The renewed interest in nuclear power and the possible return to
reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel within the United States have focused
national attention on solutions for these complex waste streams. Perma-Fix
works closely with waste generators to find unique solutions for many of these
problematic wastes resulting from nuclear power production and nuclear weapons
development.
The three day Mixed Waste Treatment Forum provides a venue for many of the
nation's leading waste management experts to share lessons and experiences in
dealing with complex waste stream clean-up projects. This year's conference
brings together an exciting lineup of speakers to discuss innovations in mixed
waste treatment, regulatory issues, and how to cope with competing priorities
and shrinking budgets. The third day of the forum will include tours of
Perma-Fix's two Tennessee treatment facilities.
Dr. Louis F. Centofanti, Perma-Fix chairman and chief executive officer
said, "Our Treatment Forum continues to gain popularity each year and we will
feature nearly 200 experts this year from both the government and commercial
sectors. Their combined experiences in dealing with the most challenging
nuclear waste management issues will be invaluable to the industry as we
continue to look for new treatment solutions to better serve the environment
and our customers."
