Nuclear waste management company Perma-Fix, Atlanta, appointed nuclear cleanup veteran Mark Duff executive vice president, the company announced Friday.
“We are pleased to have an executive of Mark’s caliber join us at this exciting time in our company,” Louis Centofanti, Perma-Fix president and chief executive, said in a press release. “We look forward to his involvement as part of the senior management team as we prepare for a period of rapid growth in both our Service and Treatment Segments.”
Duff has worked as a contractor and civil servant on several Energy Department and Pentagon nuclear projects, Permafix said.
