    Steve Fein's questions to Perma-Fix Environmental Services Inc (PESI) leadership • Q4 2024

    Question

    Steve Fein inquired about the expected start date for the Hanford tank grouting program and asked about the competitive landscape for the PFAS technology, specifically whether competitors view it as a novel, additive solution rather than a threat.

    Answer

    Executive Mark Duff estimated that the grouting program is unlikely to begin transporting waste before 2027 due to regulatory requirements. Regarding PFAS, he clarified that their competitors are not the typical radioactive waste firms. Instead, they are seeing companies that concentrate PFAS, which he views as potential clients for Perma-Fix's destruction services, creating a complementary relationship rather than a direct competitive threat.
