Item  5.      Other Events.

     GTS Duratek,  Inc. ("GTS  Duratek" or the "Company")  announced that it had
entered into a $60 million credit  facility  underwritten  and arranged by First
Union Capital Markets Corporation to replace its existing facility. Participants
in the facility  include First Union  Commercial  Corporation,  National Bank of
Canada and Wachovia Bank.

     The credit facility includes a $35 million revolving line of credit,  based
on  the  amount  of  eligible  accounts   receivable,   to  refinance   existing
indebtedness and to fund working capital requirements, a $20 million acquisition
line of credit to finance  acquisitions  or stock  repurchases  and a $5 million
equipment line of credit to finance up to 75% of the Company's  acquisition cost
of new equipment  purchases.  Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest
initially  at either (i) the LIBOR  rate plus 2.25% or,  (ii) the Base Rate plus
1%, at the Company's  option.  The Base Rate is the higher of (a) the Prime Rate
(as defined in the Credit  Agreement)  and (b) the sum of the Federal Funds Rate
plus 1/2 of 1%. The interest rate is subject to adjustment  after June 30, 1999,
depending upon the Company's  ratio of debt to operating  income.  Substantially
all of the Company's assets,  excluding real property and inventory, are pledged
as collateral  under the credit  facility.  The credit  facility has a five year
term.  In  connection  with this new  facility,  GTS  Duratek has agreed to seek
stockholder  approval at its 1999 annual meeting of  stockholders  to extend the
mandatory redemption date of its outstanding  convertible preferred stock beyond
the maturity  date of this new facility;  if this approval is not obtained,  the
credit facility converts to a three year term.
