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), the Radiologic Health Branch and The Boeing Company.
