Nonproliferation Test and Evaluation Complex (NPTEC)
 The Nonproliferation Test
and Evaluation Complex (NPTEC) is a unique,
one-of-a-kind facility built to conduct hazardous materials testing and
training under controlled conditions. The NPTEC can
accommodate both large-scale and small-scale testing. It is ideally suited
for sponsors to develop verified data on the environmental effects of
toxic and hazardous materials.
The Nonproliferation Test and Evaluation Complex (NPTEC) Environmental Impact Statement allows live
releases of hazardous materials for training purposes, field-test
detection, plume dispersion experimentation, and equipment and materials
testing. Customers can use the facility to develop emergency planning
under U.S. Public Law 94-499; the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act of 1986; and other federal, state, and international
laws and regulations.
The facility consists of a control building housing data acquisition
and recording instruments, a command and control computer, and support
personnel. The test area consists of a tank farm, a wind tunnel,
elevated stacks and spill pans, and various tanks used for storage of
the test chemicals.
