CREDIT AGREEMENT

This CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of June 7, 2006, is made by and among DRAGON MERGER CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Dragon” and, before the Merger, “Duratek”), DURATEK, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Target” and (i) after the Merger and (ii) for the purposes of the representations and warranties made pursuant to the Loan Documents on the Agreement Effective Date, “Duratek”), the Lenders party hereto from time to time, CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS INC. (“CGMI”), as sole lead arranger (the “Arranger”), CITICORP NORTH AMERICA, INC. (“CNAI”), as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and as collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent” and, together with the Lenders, the “Lenders”), and CALYON NEW YORK BRANCH (“Calyon”), as syndication agent (the “Syndication Agent”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, (i) EnergySolutions, LLC (“EnergySolutions”) shall acquire, directly or indirectly (the “Duratek Acquisition”), all of the equity interests of Duratek, Inc., in accordance with a merger agreement dated as of February 6, 2006 among EnergySolutions, Dragon and Target (the “Duratek Acquisition Agreement”) pursuant to which, Dragon will merge (the “Merger”) on the Agreement Date with and into Target, with Target surviving the Merger;

WHEREAS, in connection with the Duratek Acquisition, EnergySolutions shall repay all existing indebtedness of the Acquired Business (as defined below) (the “Duratek Refinancing”), other than such indebtedness set forth on Schedule 1-A hereto;

WHEREAS, simultaneously herewith, EnergySolutions shall enter into the EnergySolutions Credit Agreement (as defined below), pursuant to which the lenders party thereto will make the EnergySolutions Term Loans (as defined below) in an aggregate principal amount of $530,000,000, will commit to make revolving loans to EnergySolutions in an aggregate principal amount of up to $75,000,000 and will make Synthetic Deposits (as defined in the EnergySolutions Credit Agreement) of $25,000,000.

WHEREAS, to fund the Duratek Refinancing and the Duratek Acquisition, Duratek has requested that the Lenders make loans to Duratek on the Agreement Date;

NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows as of the date first written above:

ARTICLE 1.

Definitions

Section 1.1 Defined Terms.

For the purposes hereof, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

Acquired Business” shall mean Duratek, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Acquisition” shall mean (whether by purchase, exchange, issuance of capital stock, limited partnership interests, general partnership interests or other equity or debt securities, merger, reorganization or any other method) (a) any acquisition by EnergySolutions or any of the Subsidiaries of all or substantially all of any other Person, which Person shall then become consolidated with


ratable assignment of all or a portion of such Lender’s EnergySolutions Term Loans and Synthetic Deposits and no assignment of the Loans shall be made by any Lender hereunder unless such Lender makes a simultaneous ratable assignment of all or a portion of its EnergySolutions Loans and its Synthetic Deposits. Before and after any assignment of Term Loans by any Lender, the ratios of (i) such Lender’s Term Loans to the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans outstanding, (ii) such Lender’s Synthetic Deposits to the aggregate amount of Synthetic Deposits and (iii) such Lender’s EnergySolutions Term Loans to the aggregate principal amount of EnergySolutions Term Loans outstanding, shall be identical.

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of Duratek, shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments of and the principal amount of the Loans owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and Duratek, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection at the offices of the Administrative Agent by Duratek or any Lender, at any reasonable time during normal business hours and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Each Lender agrees to provide the Administrative Agent and Duratek with written notice of the assignment of all or part of its rights hereunder. Upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee Lender, the assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the assignee is already a Lender), the fee referred to in Section 11.5(b) above and any written consent to such assignment required thereby, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effected for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.5, any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans may (without the consent of Duratek or the Administrative Agent) pledge all or a portion of its rights in connection with this Agreement to the trustee or any holder of obligations or agents therefor owed, or securities issued, by such fund as security for such obligations or securities; provided that such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents, even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise. No pledge described in the immediately preceding sentence shall release any such Lender from its obligations hereunder.

(e) [Reserved].

(f) Except as specifically set forth in Section 11.5(b) hereof, nothing in this Agreement or any Notes, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer on any Person other than the respective parties hereto and thereto and their successors and assignees permitted hereunder and thereunder any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or other claim under this Agreement or any Notes.

(g) The provisions of this Section 11.5 shall not apply to any purchase of participations among the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12 hereof.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and Duratek (a “Conduit Lender”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to
