Former ETEC Site in March, 2005
Project Completion
Welcome to ETEC
Welcome to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) website for the Energy Technology Engineering Center (ETEC) closure project. The DOE hosts this website to inform Santa Susana Field Laboratory (SSFL) neighbors and other stakeholders about our past, present, and what we plan for the future.
The ETEC is closed and site restoration is underway. The DOE is committed to completing the ETEC closure project and communicating with our neighbors and others about what we are doing. We will continue to add more information to this website about the history, past operations, previous cleanup efforts, and future cleanup efforts at ETEC. If you have any questions, please send us an email.
Other useful web sites devoted to SSFL are hosted by the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), Radiologic Health Branch, NASA, the EPA, and The Boeing Company.
Special Note:
For those interested in the August 2009 public workshop focused on the SRE accident of 1959, informational materials and videos may be found at the SRE Workshop page.

Quino Checkerspot Butterfly Site Assessment Report
The federally listed endangered Quino Checkerspot Butterfly (QCB), Euphydryas editha quino, has been recorded from northern Los Angeles County to northern Baja California, Mexico. Although there are no recent records of Quino Checkerspot Butterflies from Ventura County, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service considers the species as potentially resident in Ventura County, and thus requires site assessments for the species in suitable habitats. The report linked above was prepared to assess the presence of potential QCB habitat in Area IV of the Santa Susana Field Laboratory.
