Perma-Fix Environmental Services, Inc. (PESI) is an Atlanta-based environmental technology firm specializing in the management of nuclear, low-level radioactive, and hazardous waste. The company operates through two primary segments: Treatment, which focuses on waste processing and disposal at specialized facilities, and Services, which provides technical consulting, radiological measurement, and decontamination and decommissioning (D&D) for government and commercial sites.
The company operates within the environmental services industry, a sector characterized by high barriers to entry due to stringent federal regulations and the specialized infrastructure required to handle radioactive materials. Perma-Fix utilizes a business model that integrates research and development to address complex waste streams, serving a diverse client base that includes public utilities and government agencies like the Department of Energy.
