WHEREAS, Section 11.12 of each Credit Agreement permits each Credit Agreement to be amended from time to time.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

1.                                      Amendments

Each Credit Agreement is hereby amended, as of the Second Amendment Effective Date (as defined below), as follows:

(a)                                  The definition of “Base Rate” in Section 1.1 of each Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following immediately before the period at the end of the first sentence thereof: “; provided however that if the Base Rate as so calculated would be below 3.25%, it will be deemed to be 3.25%”

(b)                                 The definition of “Eurodollar Rate” in Section 1.1 of each Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following immediately before the period at the end of the first sentence thereof: “; provided however that if the Eurodollar Rate as so calculated would be below 1.75%, it will be deemed to be 1.75%”

(c)                                  Section 2.3(f) of the EnergySolutions Credit Agreement is hereby replaced in its entirety with the following:

Applicable Margin.  With respect to any Loan hereunder, the Applicable Margin shall be the rate per annum set forth opposite the relevant Loan under the applicable rating from S&P and Moody’s below:

2

The ratings referred to above are the long term credit or corporate family rating, as the case may be, assigned to EnergySolutions and its Affiliates on a given date by each of S&P and Moody’s, respectively.  In the event of split ratings, the lower of the two ratings shall apply. In the event EnergySolutions and its Affiliates are unable to obtain a rating from one agency, the rating of the other agency will control. In the event EnergySolutions and its Affiliates are unable to obtain a rating from either agency (other than in the event of a change in both ratings systems or a cessation of both ratings agencies), Level 4 status on the grid will apply. If the rating system of Moody’s or S&P shall change, or if any such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of giving such ratings, EnergySolutions and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend the references to specific ratings in this definition to reflect such changed rating system or the non-availability of ratings from such rating agency, and pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the ratings of such rating agency most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation shall be employed in determining the Applicable Margin.

(d)                                 Section 2.3(f) of the Duratek Credit Agreement is hereby replaced in its entirety with the following:

Applicable Margin.  The Applicable Margin shall be the rate per annum set forth opposite the relevant Loan under the applicable rating from S&P and Moody’s below:

3

The ratings referred to above are the long term credit or corporate family rating, as the case may be, assigned to EnergySolutions and its Affiliates on a given date by each of S&P and Moody’s, respectively.  In the event of split ratings, the lower of the two ratings shall apply. In the event EnergySolutions and its Affiliates are unable to obtain a rating from one agency, the rating of the other agency will control. In the event EnergySolutions and its Affiliates are unable to obtain a rating from either agency (other than in the event of a change in both ratings systems or a cessation of both ratings agencies), Level 4 status on the grid will apply. If the rating system of Moody’s or S&P shall change, or if any such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of giving such ratings, Duratek and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend the references to specific ratings in this definition to reflect such changed rating system or the non-availability of ratings from such rating agency, and pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the ratings of such rating agency most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation shall be employed in determining the Applicable Margin.

(e)                                  Section 5.14 of each Credit Agreement is hereby replaced in its entirety with the following: “The Loan Parties shall at all times during the term hereof use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain from S&P and Moody’s (i) long term credit or corporate family ratings and (ii) ratings in respect of the Loans. In the case that a rating obtained by either S&P or ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ is a private rating, the Loan Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that no more than twelve (12) months elapse between the dates on which such private rating is obtained.”

(f)                                    Section 7.7(b) of each Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following immediately after the chart in that section: “Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 7.7(b) shall not apply for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2010.”
