Section 8 - Other Events

Item 8.01    Other events

On April 12, 2007, we were notified by our insurer, American International Group
("AIG"), that it has withdrawn its prior denial of coverage and has agreed to
defend and indemnify us and our Dayton, Ohio subsidiary, Perma-Fix of Dayton,
Inc., in the previously disclosed lawsuit, alleging, among other things, that
Perma-Fix of Dayton, Inc. was operating without appropriate air permits.

The insurer has agreed to reimburse us for reasonable defense costs incurred in
connection with the Dayton litigation prior to the insurer's assumption of the
defense. The insurer's agreement to defend and indemnify us and our Dayton, Ohio
subsidiary is subject to the insurer's reservation of its rights to deny
indemnity pursuant to various policy provisions and exclusions of the policy,
including, without limitation, payment of any civil penalties and fines, as well
as the insurer's right to recoup any defense cost it has advanced in the event
that it is determined that the policy provides no coverage.

The total amount of these costs expected to be recovered from the insurer is
currently being determined.
