NRC NEWS U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION Office of Public Affairs Telephone: 301/415-8200 Washington, D.C. 20555-0001 E-mail: opa@nrc.gov Web Site: http://www.nrc.gov No.07-025 February 23, 2007 NRC COMPLETES WEB SITE REDESIGN The Nuclear Regulatory Commission today completed the second and final phase of its new Web site, building upon the new look given to the site in December. Finished ahead of schedule, the second phase reduces the number of buttons that appear at the top of each page and helps make it easier to find information at the NRC site.

Additionally, the final series of changes features menus at the top of most pages and continues to provide the agencys new Google© search engine atop each page, making it easier for site visitors to find NRC documents and Web information. The format changes highlight key agency programs, including new About NRC and Nuclear Security categories.

The target date for completion was just before the NRCs Regulatory Information Conference in early March, and the agencys Office of Information Services was able to complete the task three weeks early.

Weve gotten good reviews from several focus groups and reporters on the redesign and many comments on how it makes navigation easier for members of the public. Were pleased the Office of Information Services was able to accomplish the next step faster than planned, said Eliot Brenner, director of the Office of Public Affairs.

The following table is designed to help users during the transition to find information that is no longer available from its previous location on the home page. It is available on the Web at:
