Item 5.     Other Events

            We recently discovered that our Tulsa,  Oklahoma  subsidiary,  which
            has a permit to treat and store  hazardous waste in certain areas of
            its  facility,   had  been   improperly   accepting  and  storing  a
            substantial amount of hazardous and non-hazardous waste in violation
            of  certain  environmental  laws in areas  not  permitted  to accept
            and/or to store  hazardous and  non-hazardous  waste. We voluntarily
            reported this matter to the appropriate  Oklahoma state  authorities
            and have removed this waste to permitted  treatment,  storage and/or
            disposal facilities. We are working with the Oklahoma authorities to
            provide the information  requested by the Oklahoma authorities as to
            this  matter.  As of the  date of this  report,  we  have  not  been
            notified by the Oklahoma  authorities  as to what action or actions,
            if any, the Oklahoma authorities will take against our subsidiary as
            a result of this  improper  acceptance  and  storage  of waste.  The
            Oklahoma  authorities  could assert  monetary  fines or penalties or
            take other action against our subsidiary (including, but not limited
            to, loss of permits),  which may have a material  adverse  effect on
            us.

                  Perma-Fix Announces First Quarter Results

    ATLANTA, April 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Perma-Fix Environmental
Services, Inc. (Nasdaq: PESI; BSE: PESI; Germany: PES.BE) today announced
financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2004.  Revenues for
the first quarter were $17.5 million compared to $19.5 million for the same
period in 2003.  Net loss applicable to common stock for the quarter was $2.0
million, or $.06 per share, compared to net loss applicable to common stock of
$431,000, or $.01 per share, for the same period in 2003.

    The first quarter of fiscal 2004 included $506,000 in revenue resulting
from the acquisition of certain assets of USL Environmental Services, Inc.
d/b/a A&A Environmental ("A&A") of Baltimore, Md. and US Liquids of
Pennsylvania, Inc. d/b/a EMAX ("EMAX") of Pittsburgh, Pa.  The first quarter
of fiscal 2003 included $560,000 in revenue from the Company's Newport
Hydrolysate Project with the Army.

    Results for the quarter reflect a 13.0% increase in revenue of the Nuclear
Segment and a 29.1% decrease in revenue of the Industrial Segment.  The
decrease in the Industrial Segment was largely attributable to the recent
restructuring, in which the company eliminated low-margin, high volume
services, and reduced its dependence on outside broker disposal services.
Also affecting the quarter was the exaggerated seasonal slowdown in the first
quarter, coupled with the ongoing disruption of our Michigan facility
resulting from a fire in the fourth quarter of 2003, and a reduction in
government revenue within our Industrial Segment, due in part to the
expiration of one of our contracts.

    Dr. Louis F. Centofanti, Chairman and CEO, commented, "During the quarter,
we achieved a number of important developments, including the acquisition of
certain assets of A&A and EMAX.  The acquisition enables us to expand the
Industrial Segment's presence within one of its most consistent and profitable
markets.  Moreover, our Nuclear Segment continues to grow, and we are working
on several strategic initiatives to not only treat -- but also characterize
and handle radioactive and mixed waste, which should ultimately improve the
flow of waste into our facilities."

    Dr. Centofanti continued, "We are disappointed with the Industrial
Segment's results for the quarter, which are largely due to a number of short-
term factors, as noted above.  However, we are encouraged by the progress of
the restructuring process, the quality of our new management team, and the
refocus of the Segment from not only a sales perspective, but also cost
control and logistic efficiencies.  Our strategy is beginning to pay-off, as
illustrated by the recent contract award from a leading North-American home-
improvement retail chain.  The reconstruction of the Michigan facility is in
progress and when completed later this year should dramatically improve the
throughput and efficiency of this facility."

    During the quarter, the Company completed a private placement of the
Company's common stock and warrants to purchase common stock, for net proceeds
of $9.9 million, which strengthened the Company's balance sheet and helped
fund the above acquisition.  The Company intends to use a portion of the
proceeds to pay down higher interest debt, which will reduce interest
expenses.

    Perma-Fix Environmental Services, Inc. is a national environmental
services company, providing unique mixed waste and industrial waste management
services.  The Industrial Segment provides hazardous and non-hazardous waste
treatment services for a diverse group of customers including Fortune 500
companies, numerous federal, state and local agencies and thousands of smaller
clients.  The Nuclear Segment provides radioactive and mixed waste treatment
services to hospitals, research laboratories and institutions, numerous
federal agencies including the Departments of Energy and Defense and nuclear
utilities.  The Company operates eleven major waste treatment facilities
across the country.

    This press release contains "forward-looking statements" which are based
largely on the Company's expectations and are subject to various business
risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond the Company's control.
Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the information
concerning possible or assumed future results of operations of the Company,
continued growth in the Nuclear Segment, expansion of the Industrial Segment's
presence within our most consistent and profitable markets, to successfully
complete the strategic initiatives and improve the flow of waste into our
facilities and the dramatic improvement in throughput and efficiency of the
Michigan facility upon reconstruction. These forward-looking statements are
intended to qualify for the safe harbors from liability established by the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. While the Company believes
the expectations reflected in this news release are reasonable, it can give no
assurance such expectations will prove to be correct. There are a variety of
factors which could cause future outcomes to differ materially from those
described in this release, including without limitation, future economic
conditions, industry conditions, competitive pressures, neither the government
nor any party which has granted the Company a material contract terminates
their contract prior to expiration of the term of the contract, and the DOE's
failure to abide by or comply with its contracts or to deliver waste as
anticipated.  The Company makes no commitment to disclose any revisions to
forward-looking statements, or any facts, events or circumstances after the
date hereof that bear upon forward-looking statements.
