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 agency’s 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 NRC’s Regulatory Information Conference in

early March, and the agency’s Office of Information Services was able to complete the task three weeks

early.

“We’ve 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. We’re 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: 

http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/where-did-it-go.html . Web questions or problems should be directed to

Jeffrey Main at WEBWORK@nrc.gov or 301-415-6845.
