(Nasdaq: PESI; BSE: PESI) (Germany: PES.BE) today announced that it will hold its fifth annual Mixed Waste Treatment Forum December 5 - 8, 2005, in Nashville, Tennessee, at the Opryland Hotel. This year's forum, entitled "Waste Management ... Taking it to the Next Level," will focus on recent advancements in waste treatment technologies and Perma- Fix's efforts in successful support of special waste management challenges within the nuclear industry. Perma-Fix is an industry leader in treatment of the nation's mixed waste with three fully licensed and permitted facilities, which are located in Tennessee and Florida.

All of the information presented will showcase Perma-Fix's capabilities to help the nuclear industry safely and efficiently treat and dispose of mixed waste.
