     NEW AREA CODE FOR NRC REGION III EFFECTIVE AUGUST 3

     Effective August 3, the area code for the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission's (NRC) Region III Office, Lisle,
Illinois, will change to 630.  

     The switchboard and staff phone numbers will remain the
same:


             General switchboard:  630/829-9500 
            Public Affairs:  630/829-9663 or 9662

     Through November 30, the current 708 area code will

code.  
 
     NRC's Region III Office covers eight states in the
midwest with 27 operating nuclear power reactors and about
2,500 licensees using radioactive materials for industrial,
medical, academic, and research purposes.  The eight state
area includes Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota,
Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin.
