                      Application on Form U-1 
                      SEC File No. 70-8393 

          Dear Sirs:

                      On behalf  of GPU Nuclear  Corporation ("GPUN"), I have
          examined the Application on  Form U-1, dated March 18,  1994, under
          the  Public Utility Holding Company  Act of 1935  ("Act"), filed by
          GPUN with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")
          and docketed  by the  Commission in  SEC File No.  70-8393, and  as
          amended  by Amendment No. 1,  dated August  18, 1994 and as further
          amended by  Amendment No. 2 of which this opinion  is to be a part.
          The Application, as so  amended, is hereinafter referred to  as the
          "Application". 

                      As  set  forth in  the  Application,  GPUN  proposes to
          provide to non-affiliated companies, businesses and individuals, in
          the United States and, as opportunities present, internationally, a
          broad and varied range of services ("Services") generally described
          as   Engineering   Services,  Training   and   Education  Services,
          Management, Technical  and  Consulting Services  and  licensing  or
          leasing to  non-affiliates the use of  intellectual and proprietary
          property and  the reserve capacity of laboratory  and other support
          facilities.

                      I  am  an attorney,  licensed  in  the  Commonwealth of
          Pennsylvania.  I am  the Director of Legal Services for GPU Service
          Corporation  and I am familiar  with the issuance  of securities by
          GPU,  the parent of GPUN and the  issuance of securities by the GPU
          associate  companies, including GPUN.  I am familiar with the terms
          of the  outstanding securities  of the corporations  comprising the
          GPU  holding company  system.    I  have examined  copies,  signed,
          certified or otherwise proven  to my satisfaction, of the  articles
          of incorporation and by-laws of GPUN.  In addition, I have examined
          such  other instruments,  agreements  and documents  and made  such
          other investigation as I have deemed necessary as a basis  for this
          opinion.  With respect  to all matters of Pennsylvania  law, I have
          relied  upon the opinion of Ballard Spahr Andrews & Ingersoll filed
          as  exhibit F-2  to Amendment  No. 2  of the  Application and  with
          respect to  all matters of New  Jersey law, I have  relied upon the
          opinion  of  Richard S.  Cohen, Esquire,  filed  as exhibit  F-3 to
          Amendment No. 2 of the Application.   <PAGE>

          transactions proposed in the Application are carried out by GPUN in

          laws,  including, but not limited to, its qualifying to do business
          in such jurisdictions in which it undertakes such transactions, and
          (iii) the Commission has entered an  appropriate order granting the
          Application  in accordance with the provisions thereof, I am of the
          opinion that:

               (a)    all State  laws applicable  to the  proposed
                      transactions on the  part of GPUN  will have
                      been complied with; and

               (b)    the   consummation   of   the   transactions

                      not  violate the legal rights of the holders
                      of  any securities  issued  by GPUN  or  any
                      associate company thereof. 

                      I  hereby consent to  the filing of this  opinion as an
          exhibit   to  Amendment  No.  2  of  the  Application  and  in  any
          proceedings before  the Commission that  may be held  in connection

                      SEC File No. 70-8393   

          Dear Sirs:

                      On behalf of  GPU Nuclear Corporation ("GPUN"), we have
          examined the Application on  Form U-1, dated March 18,  1994, under
          the  Public Utility Holding Company  Act of 1935  ("Act"), filed by
          GPUN with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")

          No. 2  of which this opinion is to be  a part.  The Application, as
          so amended, is hereinafter referred to as the "Application". 

                      As  set  forth in  the  Application,  GPUN  proposes to

          property and  the reserve capacity of laboratory  and other support
          facilities.

                      We have acted as Pennsylvania counsel for GPUN for many
          years  and we have examined copies,  signed, certified or otherwise
          proven  to our satisfaction,  of the articles  of incorporation and
          by-laws and the Application of GPUN.  In addition, we have examined

                      been complied with; and

          Dear Sirs:
