<FN>
(1)  The 176,912 shares of Common Stock to be registered represent the 
anticipated maximum number of shares which are to be issued pursuant to 
Perma-Fix Environmental Services, Inc.'s following employee benefit plans:  
Consulting Agreement with C. Lee Daniel, Jr. ("Daniel Agreement") (12,500 
shares);  Consulting Agreement with Rita Durocher ("Durocher Agreement") 
(9,412 shares); Consulting Agreement with Sam Elam (11,000 shares); 
Consulting Agreement with R. Keith Fetter ("Fetter Agreement") (62,500 
shares); Consulting Agreement with John Henderson (45,000 shares);
Consulting Agreement with Dr. Jeffrey Sherman ("Sherman Agreement")
(20,000 shares); and, Consulting Agreement with Gary Thomas (13,000
shares).  Under the terms of the Daniel Agreement, the Company 
shall issue 7,500 shares to Mr. Daniel along with up to an additional 
5,000 shares, depending on the extent of services performed by Mr. Daniel 
and the fair market value of the Common Stock on the determination date 
(as described in the Daniel Agreement).  Under the terms of the Durocher 
Agreement, the Company agreed to issue to Ms. Durocher that number of
shares of the Company's Common Stock equal to an amount determined
by dividing 20,000 by the closing bid price per share of the Company's
Common Stock as of the date of the Durocher Agreement.  On the date of
the Durocher Agreement, November 1, 1996, the closing, bid price per
share of the Company's Common Stock was $2.125, yielding an issuance
of 9,412 shares (rounded).  Under the terms of the Sherman Agreement,
if the Company completes the sale of a certain proprietary process
("Process") while Dr. Sherman is consulting pursuant to the Sherman 
Agreement, the Company agrees to issue to Dr. Sherman that number of
shares of the Company's Common Stock equal to an amount determined
by dividing 20,000 by the closing bid price per share of the Company's
Common Stock as quoted in the NASDAQ on the date of completion of the
sale by the Company of the Process ("Process Sale Date"), which could
result in the issuance of 20,000 or fewer shares, assuming the fair
market value of the Common Stock on the Process Sale Date is $1.00 per 
share or greater.  Under the terms of the Hicks Agreement, the Company
shall issue shares of Common Stock to Mr. Hicks equal to an amount
determined by dividing the amount of invoices received from Mr. Hicks
for consulting services by the closing bid price of the Common Stock
on the determination date (as described in the Hicks Agreement), with
with the number of shares of Common Stock issued to Mr. Hicks not to
exceed 3,500.  Under the terms of the Thomas Agreement, the Company
agrees to issue 13,000 shares of Common Stock to Mr. Thomas for con-
sulting services ("Thomas Shares"), however, if on the date that is six 
months from the date of the Thomas Agreement or upon Mr. Thomas' resale 
of the Thomas Shares in an open market transaction, the fair market
value of such shares exceeds $21,500, Mr. Thomas shall pay to the Company
the difference between the fair market value of the Thomas Shares and
$21,500.  If the fair market value of the Thomas Shares does not equal 
or exceed $21,500 at any time from the date of filing of this Form S-8 
until the date six months from the date of the Thomas Agreement, the 
Company shall pay to Mr. Thomas the difference between $21,500 and the 
highest fair market value of the Thomas Shares during such period.

(2)  In accordance with Rule 457(c) and (h), the maximum offering price and 
the calculation of the registration fee are based upon the basis of the 
average bid and asked prices for the Common Stock on December 12, 1996, 
of $1.6875, as reported on the National Association of Securities 
Dealers Automated Quotation System.

PART II.  INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT


Item 3.     Incorporation of Documents by Reference.

The following documents filed by the Registrant with the Securities and 
Exchange Commission are incorporated herein by reference:

     (a)  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 
1995;

     (b)  All other reports filed pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of 
the Exchange Act since the end of the fiscal year covered by the Annual 
Report on Form 10-K referred to in (a) above;

     (c)  Description of the Registrant's Common Stock set forth in the 
Registrant's Form S-1 Registration Statement, dated September 11, 1992, 
Commission File No. 33-51874.
    
All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 
or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange 
Act") subsequent to the date of this Registration Statement and prior to 
the filing of a post-effective amendment, which indicates that all 
securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then 
remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein 
and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents (such 
documents, and the documents listed above, being hereinafter referred
to as "Incorporated Documents").  Any statement contained in an
Incorporated Document shall be deemed to be modified or superseded
for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a 
statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed 
Incorporated Document modifies or supersedes such statement.  Any such 
statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so 
modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

Item 4.     Description of Securities.

The class of securities to be offered is registered under Section 12 of the 
Exchange Act.

Item 5.     Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Not applicable.

Item 6.     Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for the 
indemnification by the Registrant of its directors and officers to the full 
extent permitted by Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State 
of Delaware (or any similar provision or provisions of applicable law at 
the time in effect).  This indemnification is not deemed exclusive of any 
other rights to which those seeking indemnification might be entitled under 
any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or
otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in
another capacity while holding such office.  This indemnification will
continue as to such person who was a director or officer of the 
Registrant, but has ceased to be a director or officer and inures to
the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.

<PAGE>
Effective as of November 26, 1991, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation
of the Registrant was amended to, among other things, limit the liability of
its directors to the corporation or its stockholders for any monetary damages
for breaches of fiduciary duty as a director.  Under the Registrant's 
Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and as permitted under 
the Delaware General Corporation Law, directors are not liable to the 
Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages arising from a
breach of their fiduciary duties as directors.  Such provision, however,
does not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any
breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its 
stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which 
involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) under 
Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (relating to liability 
of directors for unlawful payment of dividend or unlawful stock purchase 
or redemption); or (iv) for any transaction from which the director 
derived an improper personal benefit.  The director's limitations of
liability described above may not limit a director's liability for
violation of, or otherwise relieve the Registrant or its directors from
complying with, federal or state securities laws or affect the avail-
ability of equitable remedies, such as injunctive relief or rescission.  
However, as a practical matter, equitable remedies may not be available 
in all situations, and there may be instances in which no effective 
remedy is available at all.

Item 7.  Exemption from Registration Claimed

Not applicable.

Item 9.  Undertakings.

The Registrant hereby undertakes:

    (a)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made 
         of the securities registered hereby, a post- effective amendment 
         to this Registration Statement:

         (i)   To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of 
               the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act");

         (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising 
               after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or 
               the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, 
               individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental 
               change in the information set forth in this Registration 
               Statement; and

         (iii)  To include any material information with respect to the 
                plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this
                Registration Statement or any material change to such
                information in this Registration Statement;

         provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a)
         (i) and (a)(ii) above do not apply if the Registration Statement is
         on Form S-3 or Form S-8 and the information required to be included
         in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
         periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 
         Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by 
         reference in this Registration Statement.

    (b)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the 
         Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed 
         to be a new registration statement relating to the securities 
         offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time 
         shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

    (c)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective 
         amendment any of the securities being registered remaining unsold 
         at the termination of the offering.

    (d)  That, for purpose of determining any liability under the
         Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report 
         pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act 
         that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement 
         shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating 
         to the Securities offered herein, and the offering of such 
         securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona 
         fide offering thereof.

    (e)  To deliver, or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each 
         person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual 
         report to security holders that is incorporated by reference in 
         the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the require-
         ments of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Exchange Act; and, 
         where interim financial information required to be presented by 
         Article 3 of Regulation S-X are not set forth in the prospectus, 
         to deliver, or cause to be delivered, to each person to whom the 
         prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is 
         specifically incorporated in the prospectus to provide such 
         interim financial information.

<PAGE>
    (f)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities rising under the 
         Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and con-
         trolling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions of 
         the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the 
         Registrant and the provisions of the laws of the State of Delaware 
         described in Item 6, above, or otherwise, the Registrant has been 
         advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange 
         Commission such indemnification is against public policy as 
         expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
         In the event that a claim for indemnification against such 
         liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of
         expense incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling 
         person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, 
         suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or 
         controlling person in connection with the securities being 
         registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its 
         counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, 
         submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether 
         such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed 
         in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
         of such issue.

(1)  The 176,912 shares of Common Stock to be registered represent the 
anticipated maximum number of shares which are to be issued pursuant to 
Perma-Fix Environmental Services, Inc.'s following employee benefit plans:  
Consulting Agreement with C. Lee Daniel, Jr. ("Daniel Agreement") (12,500 
shares);  Consulting Agreement with Rita Durocher ("Durocher Agreement") 
(9,412 shares); Consulting Agreement with Sam Elam (11,000 shares); 
Consulting Agreement with R. Keith Fetter ("Fetter Agreement") (62,500 
shares); Consulting Agreement with John Henderson (45,000 shares);
Consulting Agreement with Dr. Jeffrey Sherman ("Sherman Agreement")
(20,000 shares); and, Consulting Agreement with Gary Thomas (13,000
shares).  Under the terms of the Daniel Agreement, the Company 
shall issue 7,500 shares to Mr. Daniel along with up to an additional 
5,000 shares, depending on the extent of services performed by Mr. Daniel 
and the fair market value of the Common Stock on the determination date 
(as described in the Daniel Agreement).  Under the terms of the Durocher 
Agreement, the Company agreed to issue to Ms. Durocher that number of
shares of the Company's Common Stock equal to an amount determined
by dividing 20,000 by the closing bid price per share of the Company's
Common Stock as of the date of the Durocher Agreement.  On the date of
the Durocher Agreement, November 1, 1996, the closing, bid price per
share of the Company's Common Stock was $2.125, yielding an issuance
of 9,412 shares (rounded).  Under the terms of the Sherman Agreement,
if the Company completes the sale of a certain proprietary process
("Process") while Dr. Sherman is consulting pursuant to the Sherman 
Agreement, the Company agrees to issue to Dr. Sherman that number of
shares of the Company's Common Stock equal to an amount determined
by dividing 20,000 by the closing bid price per share of the Company's
Common Stock as quoted in the NASDAQ on the date of completion of the
sale by the Company of the Process ("Process Sale Date"), which could
result in the issuance of 20,000 or fewer shares, assuming the fair
market value of the Common Stock on the Process Sale Date is $1.00 per 
share or greater.  Under the terms of the Hicks Agreement, the Company
shall issue shares of Common Stock to Mr. Hicks equal to an amount
determined by dividing the amount of invoices received from Mr. Hicks
for consulting services by the closing bid price of the Common Stock
on the determination date (as described in the Hicks Agreement), with
with the number of shares of Common Stock issued to Mr. Hicks not to
exceed 3,500.  Under the terms of the Thomas Agreement, the Company
agrees to issue 13,000 shares of Common Stock to Mr. Thomas for con-
sulting services ("Thomas Shares"), however, if on the date that is six 
months from the date of the Thomas Agreement or upon Mr. Thomas' resale 
of the Thomas Shares in an open market transaction, the fair market
value of such shares exceeds $21,500, Mr. Thomas shall pay to the Company
the difference between the fair market value of the Thomas Shares and
$21,500.  If the fair market value of the Thomas Shares does not equal 
or exceed $21,500 at any time from the date of filing of this Form S-8 
until the date six months from the date of the Thomas Agreement, the 
Company shall pay to Mr. Thomas the difference between $21,500 and the 
highest fair market value of the Thomas Shares during such period.

(2)  In accordance with Rule 457(c) and (h), the maximum offering price and 
the calculation of the registration fee are based upon the basis of the 
average bid and asked prices for the Common Stock on December 12, 1996, 
of $1.6875, as reported on the National Association of Securities 
Dealers Automated Quotation System.
PART II.  INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Item 3.     Incorporation of Documents by Reference.

The following documents filed by the Registrant with the Securities and 
Exchange Commission are incorporated herein by reference:

     (a)  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 
1995;

     (b)  All other reports filed pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of 
the Exchange Act since the end of the fiscal year covered by the Annual 
Report on Form 10-K referred to in (a) above;

     (c)  Description of the Registrant's Common Stock set forth in the 
Registrant's Form S-1 Registration Statement, dated September 11, 1992, 
Commission File No. 33-51874.
    
All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 
or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange 
Act") subsequent to the date of this Registration Statement and prior to 
the filing of a post-effective amendment, which indicates that all 
securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then 
remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein 
and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents (such 
documents, and the documents listed above, being hereinafter referred
to as "Incorporated Documents").  Any statement contained in an
Incorporated Document shall be deemed to be modified or superseded
for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a 
statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed 
Incorporated Document modifies or supersedes such statement.  Any such 
statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so 
modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

Item 4.     Description of Securities.

The class of securities to be offered is registered under Section 12 of the 
Exchange Act.

Item 5.     Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Not applicable.

Item 6.     Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for the 
indemnification by the Registrant of its directors and officers to the full 
extent permitted by Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State 
of Delaware (or any similar provision or provisions of applicable law at 
the time in effect).  This indemnification is not deemed exclusive of any 
other rights to which those seeking indemnification might be entitled under 
any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or
otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in
another capacity while holding such office.  This indemnification will
continue as to such person who was a director or officer of the 
Registrant, but has ceased to be a director or officer and inures to
the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.
Effective as of November 26, 1991, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation
of the Registrant was amended to, among other things, limit the liability of
its directors to the corporation or its stockholders for any monetary damages
for breaches of fiduciary duty as a director.  Under the Registrant's 
Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and as permitted under 
the Delaware General Corporation Law, directors are not liable to the 
Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages arising from a
breach of their fiduciary duties as directors.  Such provision, however,
does not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any
breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its 
stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which 
involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) under 
Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (relating to liability 
of directors for unlawful payment of dividend or unlawful stock purchase 
or redemption); or (iv) for any transaction from which the director 
derived an improper personal benefit.  The director's limitations of
liability described above may not limit a director's liability for
violation of, or otherwise relieve the Registrant or its directors from
complying with, federal or state securities laws or affect the avail-
ability of equitable remedies, such as injunctive relief or rescission.  
However, as a practical matter, equitable remedies may not be available 
in all situations, and there may be instances in which no effective 
remedy is available at all.

Item 7.  Exemption from Registration Claimed

Not applicable.

Item 9.  Undertakings.

The Registrant hereby undertakes:

    (a)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made 
         of the securities registered hereby, a post- effective amendment 
         to this Registration Statement:

         (i)   To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of 
               the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act");

         (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising 
               after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or 
               the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, 
               individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental 
               change in the information set forth in this Registration 
               Statement; and

         (iii)  To include any material information with respect to the 
                plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this
                Registration Statement or any material change to such
                information in this Registration Statement;

         provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a)
         (i) and (a)(ii) above do not apply if the Registration Statement is
         on Form S-3 or Form S-8 and the information required to be included
         in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
         periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 
         Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by 
         reference in this Registration Statement.

    (b)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the 
         Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed 
         to be a new registration statement relating to the securities 
         offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time 
         shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

    (c)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective 
         amendment any of the securities being registered remaining unsold 
         at the termination of the offering.

    (d)  That, for purpose of determining any liability under the
         Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report 
         pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act 
         that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement 
         shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating 
         to the Securities offered herein, and the offering of such 
         securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona 
         fide offering thereof.

    (e)  To deliver, or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each 
         person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual 
         report to security holders that is incorporated by reference in 
         the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the require-
         ments of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Exchange Act; and, 
         where interim financial information required to be presented by 
         Article 3 of Regulation S-X are not set forth in the prospectus, 
         to deliver, or cause to be delivered, to each person to whom the 
         prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is 
         specifically incorporated in the prospectus to provide such 
         interim financial information.
(f)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities rising under the 
         Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and con-
         trolling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions of 
         the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the 
         Registrant and the provisions of the laws of the State of Delaware 
         described in Item 6, above, or otherwise, the Registrant has been 
         advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange 
         Commission such indemnification is against public policy as 
         expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
         In the event that a claim for indemnification against such 
         liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of
         expense incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling 
         person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, 
         suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or 
         controlling person in connection with the securities being 
         registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its 
         counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, 
         submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether 
         such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed 
         in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
         of such issue.
