                                PROXY STATEMENT
 
    The  accompanying  Proxy is  solicited  by and  on  behalf of  the  Board of
Directors of GTS Duratek, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), for  use
at the Special Meeting of Stockholders (the "Special Meeting") to be held at the
offices  of the Company, 8955 Guilford Road, Suite 200, Columbia, Maryland 21046
on the 16th day of April, 1996 at  10:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time, and at  any
adjournments thereof. The approximate date on which this Proxy Statement and the
accompanying  Proxy were first  given or sent  to security holders  was April 2,
1996.
 
    Each Proxy executed and returned by a stockholder may be revoked at any time
thereafter, by written notice  to that effect to  the Company, attention of  the
Secretary, prior to the Special Meeting, or in person to the Chairman of, or the
Inspectors  of Election at, the Special Meeting,  or by the execution and return
of a  later-dated Proxy,  except  as to  any matter  voted  upon prior  to  such
revocation.
 
    The  Proxies in the accompanying  form will be voted  in accordance with the
specifications made thereon and where no specifications are given, such  Proxies
will  be  voted  FOR  the  amendment  to  the  Company's  Amended  and  Restated
Certificate of Incorporation  (the "Certificate of  Incorporation") to  increase
the  authorized Common  Stock of  the Company.  In the  discretion of  the proxy
holders, the Proxies will also be voted FOR or AGAINST such other matters as may
properly come before  the meeting. The  management of the  Company is not  aware
that any other matters are to be presented for action at the meeting.
 
    The  affirmative vote of a  majority of the voting  power of the outstanding
voting stock of the Company  will be required for  adoption of the amendment  to
the  Company's Certificate of Incorporation. HOLDERS  OF MORE THAN A MAJORITY OF
SUCH VOTING POWER HAVE EXPRESSED AN INTENTION TO VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE AMENDMENT.
On such matter, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as  a
vote  against the amendment. On all other  matters, a majority of the votes cast
at the  meeting, with  a quorum  present,  is required  to approve  the  matter.
Abstentions  and broker non-votes  will not be  considered to be  votes cast and
will have no effect on the outcome of such matters.
 
    The solicitation of  proxies generally  will be  by mail  and by  directors,
officers,  and regular employees of the Company. In some instances, solicitation
may be made by telephone or other  means. All costs incurred in connection  with
the  solicitation of proxies will  be borne by the  Company. Arrangements may be
made with brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to send proxies
and proxy material to their principals,  and the Company may reimburse them  for
reasonable out-of-pocket and clerical expenses in forwarding such material.
 
                               VOTING SECURITIES
 
    The  Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on February 22, 1996
as the record  date for the  determination of stockholders  entitled to  receive
notice  of and to vote at the  Special Meeting. The issued and outstanding stock
of the Company  on February  22, 1996 consisted  of 9,579,153  shares of  Common
Stock,  par value $.01 per  share (the "Common Stock")  and 160,000 shares of 8%
Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the
"Convertible Preferred Stock"). For  all of the  matters to be  voted on at  the
Special  Meeting, the holders of the  Common Stock and the Convertible Preferred
Stock will vote as a single class. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one
vote and each share of Convertible  Preferred Stock entitles the holder  thereof
to  cast a number of votes  equal to the number of  votes which could be cast in
such vote by a holder  of the number of shares  of Common Stock into which  such
share of Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible. The
<PAGE>
current  number of shares of  Common Stock into which  each share of Convertible
Preferred Stock is convertible is 33-1/3. Accordingly, the outstanding shares of
Convertible Preferred  Stock represent  5,333,333 votes  in the  aggregate  when
voting  with the  shares of  Common Stock  as a  single class.  A quorum  of the
stockholders is constituted by the presence,  in person or by proxy, of  holders
of  record  of voting  stock, representing  a  majority of  the number  of votes
entitled to be cast.
 
    The Carlyle Group  and its affiliates  ("Carlyle") beneficially own  150,692
shares of Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding and 2,040,616 shares of Common
Stock outstanding, or an aggregate of 47.4% of the outstanding voting securities
of  the Company. National Patent Development Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("National Patent"),  beneficially  owns  2,947,972 shares  of  the  outstanding
Common  Stock, representing  19.8% of the  outstanding voting  securities of the
Company. CARLYLE AND  NATIONAL PATENT HAVE  EACH ADVISED THE  COMPANY THAT  THEY
CURRENTLY  INTEND TO  VOTE ALL  THE SHARES  BENEFICIALLY OWNED  BY THEM  FOR THE
APPROVAL OF  THE  AMENDMENT  TO  THE  COMPANY'S  CERTIFICATE  OF  INCORPORATION.
CONSEQUENTLY,  IF SUCH SHARES ARE SO VOTED, NO ADDITIONAL VOTES WILL BE REQUIRED
TO APPROVE THIS MATTER. See "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and
Management".
 
                    SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL
                             OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
 
    On January 24, 1995,  the Company issued for  $16 million 160,000 shares  of
Convertible Preferred Stock, and an option (the "Company Option") to purchase up
to  an additional  1.25 million  shares of  newly issued  Common Stock  from the
Company at any time prior to January  24, 1999 at $3.75 per share to  investment
partnerships  sponsored  and controlled  by  Carlyle. The  Convertible Preferred
Stock is convertible into Common Stock at a conversion price of $3 per share. In
addition, as part of this  financing transaction (the "Financing  Transaction"),
Carlyle  acquired  1,666,667 shares  of  Common Stock  of  the Company  owned by
National Patent, the Company's largest stockholder, for $3 per share and had the
option (the "NPD Option") to purchase up to an additional 500,000 shares of  the
Company's  Common Stock from  National Patent at  any time prior  to January 24,
1996 at an exercise price of $3.75  per share. Carlyle exercised the NPD  Option
in  full  on December  22, 1995.  Prior to  the Financing  Transaction, National
Patent owned 59.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and was in  control
of the Company.
 
    Assuming  the  conversion of  all of  the  Convertible Preferred  Stock into
Common Stock,  Carlyle would  own 47.4%  of  the Common  Stock of  the  Company,
excluding  the  effects of  the exercise  of  the Company  Option and  all other
outstanding  warrants,  convertible  securities  and  employee  stock   options.
Assuming  the conversion of  all of the Convertible  Preferred Stock into Common
Stock and assuming  Carlyle's exercise  in full of  the portion  of the  Company
Option  that it owns (but not  the exercise of outstanding warrants, convertible
securities and employee stock options), Carlyle would own 52.2% of the Company's
Common Stock.
 
    The terms of the Convertible Preferred  Stock provide that the holders of  a
majority  of the Convertible Preferred Stock have  the right to elect a majority
of the Company's Board of  Directors so long as  Carlyle owns shares of  capital
stock  having 20% or  more of the  votes that may  be cast at  annual or special
meetings of stockholders. As part of  the Financing Transaction and the sale  of
the Company's Common Stock from National Patent to Carlyle, the Company, Carlyle
and  National Patent entered into  a stockholders' agreement (the "Stockholders'
Agreement") whereby,  among other  things, National  Patent agreed  to vote  the
remaining  shares of Common Stock that it owns in favor of the Carlyle designees
to the Company's Board of Directors.  As a result of the Financing  Transaction,
Carlyle  has  the  ability,  through  its  stock  ownership,  the  terms  of the
Convertible Preferred Stock  and the  terms of the  Stockholders' Agreement,  to
elect a majority of the Company's Board of Directors and effectively control the
Company.
 
    The  following  table  sets forth,  at  February  22, 1996,  the  amount and
percentage of the Company's outstanding  Common Stock and Convertible  Preferred
Stock  beneficially owned by each director,  each executive officer named in the
Summary   Compensation   Table   in   the   Company's   proxy   statement    for
 
                                       2
<PAGE>
the  1995 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, all  directors and officers as a group
and by all persons,  to the knowledge of  the Company, beneficially owning  more
than  five percent (5%)  of the Company's Common  Stock or Convertible Preferred
Stock.

 * The number of shares owned is less than one percent of the outstanding shares
    of Common Stock.
 
 (1) Messrs. D'Aniello and Conway are each Managing Directors of Carlyle and, as
    a result, may be deemed to beneficially  own the shares of Common Stock  and
    Convertible  Preferred Stock beneficially owned by Carlyle. However, Messrs.
    D'Aniello and Conway disclaim beneficial ownership of such shares.
 
 (2) National Patent  beneficially owns  an aggregate  of 2,947,972  outstanding
    shares  of Common  Stock of  the Company.  Based upon  the capital  stock of
    National Patent  outstanding at  February 22,  1996, Jerome  I. Feldman  and
    Martin M. Pollak, officers and directors of National Patent and directors of
    the  Company, controlled in  the aggregate approximately  9.9% of the voting
    power of  all voting  securities  of National  Patent. This  percentage  for
    Messrs.  Feldman and  Pollak would increase  to approximately  45.0% if they
    exercised all  the  presently  outstanding options  to  purchase  shares  of
    capital  stock of National Patent held by them. Accordingly, Messrs. Feldman
    and Pollak,  through the  ownership  of National  Patent capital  stock  and

             PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
               TO INCREASE THE AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
 
    The Board  of Directors  of the  Company has  adopted resolutions  declaring
advisable  and recommending to the Company's  stockholders for their approval an
amendment  to  the  Company's  Certificate  of  Incorporation  to  increase  the
authorized  shares of Common Stock from  20,000,000 shares to 35,000,000 shares.
The text of the proposed Certificate of Amendment is attached hereto as Annex A.
The principal stockholders  of the Company,  who beneficially own  and have  the
power to vote in excess of a majority of the Company's outstanding voting stock,
have expressed their intention to vote in favor of the amendment. Thus, approval
of the amendment is expected to occur whether or not any other stockholders vote
in favor of or against the proposed amendment.
 
    Following  stockholder  adoption  of the  proposed  amendment, approximately
15,600,000 shares of Common  Stock will be available  for issuance in excess  of
approximately  9,600,000 shares  of outstanding  Common Stock  and approximately
9,800,000 shares  of  Common Stock  reserved  for issuance  upon  conversion  of
outstanding  convertible securities and the  exercise of outstanding options and
warrants.
 
    The Company  has  filed a  registration  statement relating  to  the  public
offering  of 2,500,000  shares of  Common Stock  to be  sold by  the Company and
1,100,000 shares of Common Stock to  be sold by certain selling stockholders  in
an  underwritten public offering  to be managed by  Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette
Securities  Corporation,   Deutsche  Morgan   Grenfell   and  Gruntal   &   Co.,
Incorporated. If the offering is completed, the proceeds of the offering will be
used  to expand the  Company's waste treatment  technology operations, including
for working  capital,  funding  of  waste  treatment  technology  projects,  and
research  and development. The Company may use a portion of the net proceeds for
the acquisition of  businesses or  technologies complementary  to the  Company's
business, although no such acquisition is currently being negotiated or planned.
The registration statement has not yet become effective and the offering will be
made only by prospectus. Copies of the preliminary prospectus are available from
the Company or the managing underwriters upon request.
 
    In  addition to the planned public offering, the authorized shares of Common
Stock in excess of the outstanding and reserved shares could be issued, in  many
cases  without  stockholder  approval,  for  a  variety  of  corporate purposes,
including the  raising  of  additional  capital  to  support  expansion  of  the
Company's  business, either through internally-generated growth, acquisitions or
collaborative  arrangements,  and  stock   issuances  in  connection  with   the
acquisition of other business organizations, employee incentive plans, and stock
splits  and  stock  dividends. While  there  are currently  no  commitments with
respect to  any  future  acquisitions or  new  collaborative  arrangements,  the
Company's  business  strategy includes  the  expansion of  its  technologies and
services,  which  may   be  effected  through   acquisitions  or   collaborative
arrangements.  The Company  regularly reviews  various acquisition  prospects of
businesses or  technologies  complementary  to the  Company's  and  periodically
engages  in discussions regarding such  possible acquisitions or collaborations.
Currently, the  Company is  not  a party  to  any agreements  or  understandings
regarding  any material  acquisitions or  collaborative arrangements  that would
require issuance  of  any  shares  authorized  by  the  proposed  amendment.  In
addition,  acquisitions  involving  stock  issuances  above  certain  enumerated
thresholds would  require stockholder  approval under  applicable rules  of  the
Nasdaq Stock Market and in some circumstances Delaware law.
 
    The Board of Directors is required to make any determination to issue shares
of  Common  Stock  based  on  its  judgment as  to  the  best  interests  of the
stockholders and the  Company. Although the  Board of Directors  has no  present
intention  of doing so,  it could issue  shares of Common  Stock that could make
more difficult or  discourage an  attempt to obtain  control of  the Company  by
means  of  merger, tender  offer, proxy  contest  or other  means. When,  in the
judgment of the Board of Directors, this action will be in the best interests of
the stockholders and the Company, such shares could be used to create voting  or
other  impediments  or to  discourage  persons seeking  to  gain control  of the
Company. Such shares could be privately placed with purchasers favorable to  the
Board of Directors in opposing
 
                                       5
<PAGE>
such  action. The issuance of new shares could  also be used to dilute the stock
ownership of a person or entity seeking to obtain control of the Company  should
the Board of Directors consider the action of such entity or person not to be in
the best interests of the stockholders and the Company.
 
RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS; VOTE REQUIRED
 
    The Board of Directors has declared advisable and recommends a vote "FOR" an
amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation effecting an increase in
the  authorized shares of Common Stock from 20,000,000 to 35,000,000 shares. The
affirmative vote of  a majority of  the voting power  of the outstanding  voting
stock  will be required  for adoption of  the amendment. Holders  of more than a
majority of such voting power  have expressed an intention  to vote in favor  of
the  amendment. Abstentions and broker non-votes will  have the same effect as a
vote against the amendment. Proxies solicited by the Board of Directors will  be
voted in favor of the amendment unless stockholders specify otherwise.
 
                             STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS
 
    Stockholder proposals intended to be presented at the 1997 annual meeting of
stockholders  must be  received by  the Company  for inclusion  in the Company's
proxy statement and proxy  relating to that meeting  no later than December  20,
1996 and must otherwise be in compliance with applicable Securities and Exchange
Commission regulations.
 
                                 OTHER MATTERS
 
    The  Board  of Directors  of the  Company knows  of no  other matters  to be
presented for action at the meeting other than that mentioned above. However, if
any other matters  properly come  before the meeting,  it is  intended that  the
persons  named in  the accompanying  proxy will  vote on  such other  matters in
accordance with their judgment of the best interests of the Company.
