        PROSPECTUS


                             THERMO TERRATECH INC.  

                     Warrants to Purchase 700,500 Shares of
                                Common Stock and
                         700,500 Shares of Common Stock
                     Issuable Upon Exercise of Such Warrants

             This Prospectus relates to (i) the reoffer and resale of
        Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase
        700,500 shares of Common Stock, par value $.10 per share (the
        "Common Stock"), of Thermo TerraTech Inc. (the "Company"), and
        (ii) the issuance of 700,500 shares of Common Stock (the
        "Shares") that may be acquired upon exercise of the Warrants.
        The Warrants and/or the Shares are sometimes referred to in this
        Prospectus interchangeably as the "Securities."  The Warrants may
        be offered by certain securityholders of the Company (the
        "Selling Securityholders") from time to time in negotiated
        transactions, at fixed prices that may be changed, at market
        prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such
        prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices.  The Selling
        Securityholders may effect such transactions by selling the
        Warrants to or through broker-dealers, and such broker-dealers
        may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or
        commissions from the Selling Securityholders and/or the
        purchasers of the Warrants for whom such broker-dealers may act
        as agent or to whom they sell as principal, or both (which
        compensation to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of
        customary commissions).  The Selling Securityholders and any
        broker-dealer who acts in connection with sales of the Warrants
        hereunder may be deemed to be "underwriters" as that term is
        defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
        "Securities Act"), and any commissions received by them and
        profit on any resale of the Warrants as principal might be deemed
        to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities
        Act.  See "Selling Securityholders."  
                                  _____________

             None of the proceeds from the sale of the Warrants by the
        Selling Securityholders will be received by the Company.  The
        Company has agreed to bear all expenses (other than underwriting
        discounts and selling commissions, and fees and expenses of
        counsel or other advisers to the Selling Securityholders) in
        connection with the registration and sale of the Securities being
        registered hereby.  The Company has agreed to indemnify the
        Selling Securityholders against certain liabilities, including
        liabilities under the Securities Act as underwriter or otherwise.

        infrastructure planning and design, encompassing a range of
        specializations within the consulting and design, remediation and
        recycling, laboratory testing, and metal-treating industries.  

             Consulting and Design - The Company's Bettigole Andrews &
        Clark Inc. and Normandeau Associates Inc. subsidiaries provide
        both private and public sector clients with a range of consulting
        services that address transportation planning and design, and

        natural resource management issues, respectively. In February
        1995, the Company acquired Elson T. Killam Associates Inc., which
        provides environmental consulting and engineering services and
        specializes in wastewater treatment and water resources
        management.

             Remediation and Recycling - The Company's majority-owned
        Thermo Remediation Inc. ("Thermo Remediation") subsidiary
        operates a network of soil-remediation centers, serving customers
        in more than a dozen states by providing thermal treatment of
        soil to remove and destroy petroleum contamination caused by
        leaking underground and aboveground storage tanks, spills, and
        other sources. Thermo Remediation's Thermo Fluids Inc.
        subsidiary, located in Arizona, offers fluids-recycling services
        including waste motor oil and wastewater treatment throughout
        Arizona and in neighboring states.  In addition, Thermo
        Remediation's Remediation Technologies, Inc. subsidiary, acquired
        in December 1995, is an integrated environmental services firm,
        with 15 offices nationwide, that focuses primarily on the
        remediation of former and active industrial sites contaminated
        with organic wastes and residues.   

                  Through its Thermo Nutech division ("Thermo Nutech"),
        Thermo Remediation provides services to remove radioactive
        contaminants from sand, gravel, and soil, as well as health

        treatment services as well as services to test, remove and
        install underground storage tanks.  In March 1995, Thermo
        EuroTech acquired Refining and Trading Holland B.V., which
        specializes in converting "off-spec" and contaminated petroleum
        fluids into usable oil products.

        subsidiary operates a network of analytical laboratories that
        provide environmental testing services to commercial and

             10,000 Warrants owned by such trust.  
         
             The Warrants are being registered to permit public secondary
        trading of the Warrants from time to time by the Selling
        Securityholders.  All of the Warrants were acquired by the
        Selling Securityholders or their affiliates from the Company in
        private placement transactions pursuant to Securities Purchase
        Agreements with the Company dated as of December 20, 1991, March
        20, 1992, June 15, 1992, September 1, 1992, December 16, 1992,

        issuable upon exercise of certain of the Warrants at an exercise
        price of $10.00 per Share and upon the exercise of certain other
        Warrants at an exercise price of $11.34 per Share. 

             In the Purchase Agreements, the Company agreed, among other
        things, to bear all expenses (other than underwriting discounts,
        selling commissions, and fees and expenses of counsel and other
        advisors to the Selling Securityholders) in connection with the
        registration and sale of the Warrants being offered by the
        Selling Securityholders.  See "Sale of Securities."  The Company

                                        7

        has agreed to prepare and file such amendments and supplements to
        the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part
        as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective
        until all the Warrants offered hereby have been sold pursuant
        thereto or until such Warrants are no longer, by reason of Rule
        144(k) under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar
        effect, required to be registered for the public sale thereof by
        the Selling Securityholders.
         

                               SALE OF SECURITIES

             The Company has been advised that the Selling
        Securityholders may sell Warrants from time to time in negotiated
        transactions, at fixed prices which may be changed, at market
        prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such
        prevailing market price or at negotiated prices.  The Selling
        Securityholders may effect such transactions by selling the
        Warrants to or through broker-dealers, and such broker-dealers
        may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or
        commissions from the Selling Securityholders and/or the
        purchasers of the Warrants for whom such broker-dealers may act
        as agent or to whom they sell as principal, or both (which
        compensation to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of
        customary commissions).

             The Selling Securityholders and any broker-dealers who act
        in connection with the sale of Securities hereunder may be deemed
        to be "underwriters" as that term is defined in the Securities
        Act, and any commissions received by them and profit on any
        resale of the Securities as principal might be deemed to be
        underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.
        The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Securityholders
        against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
        Securities Act as underwriter or otherwise.


                             DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

             The following is a brief description of the principal terms
        applicable to the Warrants.

             The Warrants represent the right, exercisable during a
        prescribed period of time, to purchase shares of the Common Stock
        of the Company at prescribed prices.  The Warrants were acquired
        by the Selling Securityholders or their affiliates from the
        Company in private placement transactions pursuant to Purchase
        Agreements dated as of December 20, 1991, March 20, 1992, June
        15, 1992, September 1, 1992, December 16, 1992, and March 18,
        1993.  

             Exercise Period and Procedure.  The registered holder of a
        Warrant may exercise the Warrant, in whole or in part (but not as
        to fractional Shares) at any time and from time to time after

                                        8
PAGE
<PAGE>





        April 24, 1996 and prior to the fifth anniversary of such date
        (the "Exercise Period").  Certificates for Shares purchased upon
        exercise of a Warrant will be delivered by the Company to the
        purchaser within ten days after the Company has received a
        completed and executed exercise agreement, in the form attached
        to the Warrant, and a check representing the exercise price of
        the Shares for which the Warrant is exercised (the "Exercise
        Date").  Shares issuable upon the exercise of a Warrant will be
        deemed to have been issued to the purchaser on the Exercise Date,
        and the purchaser will be deemed for all purposes to have been
        the record holder of such Shares on the Exercise Date.  Unless an
        exercised Warrant has expired or all of the purchase rights
        represented thereby have been exercised, the Company will prepare
        a new Warrant, substantially identical thereto, representing the
        rights formerly represented by such Warrant which have not
        expired or been exercised.  The Warrants may not be exercised as
        to fractional Shares.  If a fractional Share would otherwise be
        issuable upon exercise of a Warrant, the Company will, within ten
        days after the Exercise Date, deliver to the purchaser a check
        payable to the purchaser in lieu of such fractional share, in an
        amount equal to the market price of such fractional Share as of
        the close of business on the Exercise Date.     

             The issuance of certificates for Shares upon exercise of a
        Warrant will be made without charge to the registered holder for
        any issuance tax in respect thereof or any other cost incurred by
        the Company in connection with such exercise and the related
        issuance of such Shares.  The Company will not, however, be
        required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any
        transfer, in whole or in part, of any Warrant (including the
        issuance of new Warrants in connection therewith) or the delivery
        of stock certificates in a name other than that of the registered
        holder of a Warrant presented for exercise, and any such tax must
        be paid by such registered holder at the time of presentation.

             The Company will not close its books for the transfer of the
        Warrants or of any Shares issued or issuable upon the exercise on
        the Warrants in any manner which interferes with the timely
        exercise of the Warrants.

             Exercise Price.  The Warrants issued pursuant to the
        Purchase Agreements dated as of December 20, 1991, March 20,
        1992, June 15, 1992 and September 1, 1992 may be exercised at an
        exercise price of $10.00 per Share, and the Warrants issued
        pursuant to the Purchase Agreements dated as of December 16, 1992
        and March 18, 1993 may be exercised at an exercise price of
        $11.34 per Share (as the case may be, the "Exercise Price").  The
        Exercise Price of each Warrant was determined after taking into
        account several factors, including (a) the fair market values of
        the Common Stock underlying the Warrants on their respective
        dates of issuance, (b) the appropriate premiums over such fair
        market values compared to premiums applicable to listed or quoted
        options on similar securities, (c) the degree of volatility in


                                        9
PAGE
<PAGE>





        such fair market values prior to such issuance and (d) the length
        of the Exercise Period.  

             Adjustments.  In order to prevent dilution of the rights
        granted under the Warrants, both the Exercise Price and the
        number of Shares that may be issued upon exercise of the Warrants
        will be subject to adjustment from time to time if, during the
        Exercise Period, the Company (a) issues any shares of Common
        Stock as a dividend upon Common Stock, or (b) issues any shares
        of Common Stock by reclassification or otherwise, (c) combines
        outstanding shares of Common Stock, by reclassification or
        otherwise or (d) declares a dividend upon the Common Stock
        payable otherwise than out of earnings or retained earnings and
        otherwise than in Common Stock.  No adjustment of the Exercise
        Price will be made if the amount of such adjustment would be less
        than one cent per Share, but in such case any adjustment that
        would otherwise be required then to be made will be carried
        forward and will be made at the time and together with the next
        subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustment or
        adjustments so carried forward, would amount to not less than one
        cent per share.  Upon any reorganization or reclassification of
        the capital stock of the Company, or any consolidation or merger
        of the Company with another corporation (other than a
        consolidation or merger in which the Company is the surviving
        entity and which does not result in any change in the Common
        Stock), or any sale or other disposition by the Company of all or
        substantially all of its assets to any other corporation, the
        Warrants will thereafter be exercisable for the number of shares
        of stock or other securities or property of the Company, or of
        the successor corporation resulting from such consolidation or
        merger, as the case may be, to which the Shares (and any other
        securities and property) of the Company, deliverable upon the
        exercise of the Warrants, would have been entitled upon such
        reorganization, reclassification of capital stock, consolidation,
        merger, sale or other disposition if the Warrants had been
        exercised immediately prior to such reorganization,
        reclassification of capital stock, consolidation, merger, sale or
        other disposition.  

             No Voting Rights.  The Warrants will not entitle the holders
        thereof to any voting rights or other rights as stockholders of
        the Company. 

             Miscellaneous.  The Warrants and all rights thereunder are
        transferable, in whole or in part, without charge to the
        registered holder, upon surrender of the Warrants with properly
        executed assignment (in the form attached to the Warrants) at the
        principal office of the Company.  Similarly, the Warrants are
        exchangeable, upon the surrender thereof by the registered holder
        at the principal office of the Company, for new Warrants of like
        tenor representing in the aggregate the purchase rights
        thereunder, and each of such new Warrants will represent such
        portion of such rights as is designated by the registered holder
        at the time of such surrender.  The provisions of the Warrants

                                       10

        may be amended and the Company may take any action therein
        prohibited, or omit to perform any act therein required to be
        performed by it, only if the Company has obtained the written
        consent of the registered holders of Warrants representing at
        least 50% of the shares obtainable upon the exercise of the
        Warrants outstanding at the time of such consent.



                           DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK
         
             The following is a brief description of the principal terms
        applicable to the authorized shares of the Company's Common
        Stock.  
         
             Each share of Common Stock is entitled to pro rata
        participation in distributions upon liquidation and to one vote
        on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders.  Dividends
        may be paid to the holders of Common Stock when and if declared
        by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available
        therefor. Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive or similar
        rights.  The outstanding shares of Common Stock are, and the
        Shares offered hereby will be, legally issued, fully paid and
        nonassessable. 
         
             The shares of Common Stock have noncumulative voting rights,
        which means that the holders of a majority of the shares voting
        can elect all the Directors if they so choose, and in such event,
        the holders of the remaining shares cannot elect any Directors.
        As of March 30, 1996, Thermo Electron owned 14,501,958 shares of
        the Common Stock of the Company, representing approximately 83%
        of such Common Stock outstanding.  It is anticipated that Thermo
        Electron will continue to beneficially own at least a majority of
        the outstanding Common Stock, and will have the power to elect
        all of the members of the Company's Board of Directors.      
         
             The Company's Certificate of Incorporation contains certain
        provisions permitted under the General Corporation Law of the
        State of Delaware relating to the liability of Directors.  The
        provisions eliminate a Director's liability for monetary damages
        for a breach of fiduciary duty, except in certain circumstances
        involving wrongful acts or omissions, which involve intentional
        misconduct or a knowing violation of law.  The Company believes
        that these provisions will assist the Company in attracting and
        retaining qualified individuals to serve as Directors and
        officers.  
         
             The transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock is
        American Stock Transfer and Trust Company.

                     INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

        Item 14.  Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution.

             The expenses in connection with the issuance and
        distribution of the securities which are being registered hereby
        are as follows.  All amounts shown are estimates, except the
        Securities and Exchange Commission registration fee and the
        American Stock Exchange listing fee.  All expenses are to be paid
        by the Registrant.

             TOTAL....................................        $26,514.00


        Item 15.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

             The Delaware General Corporation Law and the Company's
        Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws limit the
        monetary liability of directors to the Company and to its
        stockholders and provide for indemnification of the Company's
        officers and directors for liabilities and expenses that they may
        incur in such capacities.  In general, officers and directors are
        indemnified with respect to actions taken in good faith in a
        manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best
        interests of the Company, and with respect to any criminal action
        or proceeding, actions that the indemnitee had no reasonable
        cause to believe were unlawful. The Company also has
        indemnification agreements with its directors and officers that
        provide for the maximum indemnification allowed by law.
        Reference is made to the form of Indemnification Agreement for
        Officers and Directors incorporated by reference as Exhibit 10.10
        hereto.  

             Thermo Electron Corporation has an insurance policy which
        insures the directors and officers of Thermo Electron and its
        subsidiaries, including the Company, against certain liabilities
        which might be incurred in connection with the performance of
        their duties.

             The Selling Securityholders are obligated under the
        Securities Purchase Agreements to indemnify Directors, officers
        and controlling persons of the Registrant against certain
        liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

             See the Exhibit Index included immediately preceding the
        exhibits to this Registration Statement.


        Item 17.  Undertakings.


             (a)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

                   (1) To file, during any period in which offers or
                       sales are being made, a post-effective amendment
                       to this registration statement:

                       (i)  To include any prospectus required by Section
                            10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;  

                       (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or
                            events arising after the effective date of
                            the registration statement (or the most
                            recent post-effective amendment thereof)
                            which, individually or in the aggregate,
                            represent a fundamental change in the
                            information set forth in the registration
                            statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
                            any increase or decrease in volume of
                            securities offered (if the total dollar value
                            of securities offered would not exceed that
                            which was registered) and any deviation from
                            the low or high end of the estimated maximum
                            offering range may be reflected in the form
                            of prospectus filed with the Commission
                            pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate,
                            the changes in volume and price represent no
                            more than 20 percent change in the maximum
                            aggregate offering price set forth in the
                            "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in
                            the effective registration statement;  

                       (iii)To include any material information with
                            respect to the plan of distribution not
                            previously disclosed in the registration
                            statement or any material change to such
                            information in the registration statement.

                            Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i)
                       and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration
                       statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the
                       information required to be included in a
                       post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
                       contained in periodic reports filed by the
                                      II-2

                       Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d)
                       of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
                       incorporated by reference in the registration
                       statement.

                  (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability
                       under the Securities Act of 1933, each such
                       post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a
                       new registration statement relating to the
                       securities offered therein, and the offering of
                       such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
                       the initial bona fide offering thereof.

                  (3)  To remove from registration by means of a
                       post-effective amendment any of the securities
                       being registered which remain unsold at the
                       termination of the offering.

                  (4)  If the Registrant is a foreign private issuer, to
                       file a post-effective amendment to the
                       registration statement to include any financial
                       statements required by Rule 3-19 of Regulation S-X
                       at the start of any delayed offering or throughout
                       a continuous offering.

             (b)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to deliver
        or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to
        whom a prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report to
        security holders that is incorporated by reference in the
        prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements
        of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of
        1934; and where interim financial information required to be
        presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X are not set forth in the
        prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person
        to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly
        report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the
        prospectus to provide such interim financial information.

             (c)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
        under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,
        officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to
        the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
        advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
        Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
        expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the
        event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
        (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
        paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
        Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
        proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
        person in connection with the securities being registered, the
        Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
        has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
        appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
                                      II-3
PAGE
<PAGE>





        indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
        the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
        issue.
