Harnessing Technology to Make the NRC More Effective and Efficient
There was a time when Federal employees had better computer equipment in their offices than what they could purchase for themselves at a local consumer electronics store.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), like all other Federal agencies, has been deploying new credentials or identification cards to its employees and contractors. These credentials are being issued under the auspices of Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (or HSPD-12). These cards are secure and are used to verify your identity, and are commonly used for physical access (such as at a turnstile) or logical access (such as logging onto a computer, network, or...
