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.06-151 December 15, 2006 NRC GIVES WEB SITE A NEW LOOK The Nuclear Regulatory Commissions Web site is taking on an entirely new look. It incorporates the agencys new graphic and tagline - Protecting People and the Environment - and features a less cluttered, public-friendly look. A new Google© search engine is also available at the top of every page to make it much easier for site visitors to find NRC documents and Web information.
The new site is being modernized, reorganized and streamlined in two phases. Today marks completion of the first phase that involves changing the graphic on about 40,000 pages of the Web site to capture the new look. The second phase will be completed in about three months and will reflect the final streamlined format with key agency programs featured prominently. The Office of Information Services is working to complete the new design of the Web site before the NRCs Regulatory Information Conference in early March 2007.
We took a fresh look at our Web site and found it was too cluttered, too dated in its appearance, and not very user-friendly for the public, said Office of Public Affairs Director Eliot Brenner. At the request of the Chairmans Office, we compared our site to other regulatory agencies and found it could be made much cleaner, simpler, and more understandable. We believe this new look will help reinforce the agencys mission of protecting people and the environment, give the public easier access to information, and perhaps help in our recruiting efforts as the agency grows.
