Item 5 - Other Events

With the sale of VECTRA Technologies, Inc.'s (the "Company") nuclear 
engineering services business, power services business, and government 
services business ( collectively , the "Engineering Businesses") in August 
1996, VECTRA UK in April 1996 and the Waste Business in January 1997, the 
Company's current business provides design, licensing, procurement, 
fabrication, sale and leasing of equipment for the packaging and 
transportation of high level and low level radioactive waste and nuclear 
material; and related consulting and engineering services to the commercial 
nuclear industry worldwide and to the DOE in the U.S. ("Fuel Services"). 
Because of the Company's reduced size and product lines, the Company's 
current and future business operations are subject to a number of risks and 
uncertainties. In evaluating the risks of an investment and any 
forward-looking information provided by the Company, investors should be 
aware that the Company's actual results could differ materially from the 
results discussed in any forward-looking statements because of, among other 
factors generally affecting companies in the nuclear industry, the following: 
(a) the Company is subject to a variety of stringent regulatory agency 
requirements in the U.S. and foreign countries that affect the manufacturing 
of its products, and the failure to comply with such requirements may result 
in litigation, liability or government-ordered shutdowns; (b) the Company's 
need for working capital and annual and quarterly operating results may vary 
considerably from period to period as a result of a number of factors, 
including milestone requirements under customer contracts, and cancellations 
or delays by customers; ( c ) a substantial portion of the Company's future 
sales will be to fewer than 15 customers, the loss of any of which would 
adversely affect the Company's business, results of operations and financial 
condition; (d) some of the Company's principal competitors may have financial 
resources greater than the Company, have been active in the nuclear

Item 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits

(b)  Pro forma financial information

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheets as of 
December 31, 1996, give effect to the sale of the Company's low level 
radioactive waste packaging and transportation services operations (the 
"Waste Business") as if the sale had been consummated on December 31, 1996. 
The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of 
operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 give effect to the 
sales of the Waste Business, VECTRA UK and the Engineering Businesses as if 
the sales had been consummated at the beginning of that period. The unaudited 
pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily 
indicative of the results that actually would have occurred if the sales had 
taken place during such period or that may be attained in the future. The 
unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be 
read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and 
notes thereto.

           NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996
                                     (unaudited)




1.  Pro forma adjustments related to the pro forma condensed consolidated
    balance sheet are computed assuming the transactions were consummated on
    December 31, 1996, and include adjustments that give effect to events that
    are directly attributable to the MMT transactions and are factually
    supportable regardless of whether they have a continuing impact or are
    nonrecurring.

2.  Cash and Assets held for disposition reflects the net proceeds of $3.4 
    million based on a sales price of $3.9 million less estimated selling costs
    of $.5 million.  These selling costs are approximated  as follows ($ in
    thousands):

    Employee related expenses (including termination costs)     $  142
    Rent liability                                                  40
    Legal fees                                                      95
    Contingencies                                                   95
    Allowances                                                      98

                             Total MMT selling costs            $  470


3.  Reflects the April 1996 disposition of VECTRA UK and the August 1996
    disposition of the Engineering Businesses as if they had occurred at the
    beginning of 1996.

4.  Pro forma historical earnings are not indicative of possible future
    performance.  No assurances can be given, expressed or implied, that the
    remaining operating business, Fuels Services, can be restructured to be
    sufficiently profitable to create shareholder value.
