/D. INTRODUCTION TO TIIE BIBLIOGRAPIIIC RETRIEVAL SYSTEM
, C/ (BRS) BACKGROUND The PDR Collection The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC's) Public Document Room (PDR) manages a collection in excess of 2 million unclassified documents for public reference. The PDR collection consists of a variety of documents related to the NRC's licensing and rulemaking activities, including
. NRC staff reports in the NUREO series
. weekly information reports e transcripts of Commission meetings e materials from NRC's licensing dockets I . correspondence on technical, legal, and policy matters The PDR receives paper copies of documents 5 to 8 work days after the documents are assigned an accession number; microfiche copies are available approximately 4 days after the accession date.
The PDR receives paper copies of some high-interest documents before they are (qv; cited on the Bibliographic Retrieval System (BRS), for example
. Coumission transcripts
. Commission correspondence
. orders and issuances
. SECY papers A user may view documents on site free of charge. Copies of most documents from the PDR collection may be obtained for a fee.
. The collection is primarily maintained on paper and microfiche.
. Some items may be ordered on diskette, videotape, or other media.
Documents Not on BRS Materials available in the PDR but not found on BRS comprise the following:
. ACRS meeting notices
. daily event reports
. "NRC Inspection Manual"
. " Management Directives" p . " Media Monitor"
, e morning reports (Headquarters reports)

Introduction to the BRS l
. plant status reports
. requests for procurement, invitations for bids, bid summaries
. " Roster of Utilities "
. "NRC Rules and Regulations"
. Sunshine Meeting notices
. Federal Register notices (PDR has NRC sections only)
Indices or listings not found on BRS comprise the following: l
. accession lists I
. ACRS index
. list of civil penalties
. list of generallicensees
. list of operators For more information about PDR files contact the PDR reference staff for a free copy of NUREGIBR-0052, Public Document Room File Classification System, Rev.
2. Technical Support Technical reference librarians are available to assist users during PDR business hours.
. The PDR staff responds to fax, mail, or Internet e-mail requests.
. The staff provides assistance to onsite searchers in the Reading Room in Washington, D.C.
. A " fax-on-demand" service is available for requesting selected PDR information packets and forms.
The librarians will help define search strategies, provide assistance with BRS technical problems, answer pertinent questions about BRS and NRC documents, explain how to request materials ~, and place orders for copies of documents with the copy service contractor.
. Although staffing constraints prohibit PDR staff from performing extensive research on behalf of users, the staff will help members of the public do their own research.
. The staff can also perform online searches and generate printouts of limited size upon request.
For more information about the PDR services, contact the PDR reference staff for a iree copy of NUREGlBR-0004, Public Document Room Users' Guide, Rev. 2. Online Public Database i ( ) The Bibliographic Retrieval System (BRS) is an online public database which j operates 7 days a week,24 hours a day. l NUREG/BR-0231 NRC Public Document Room 1-2 BRS Users' Manual l September 1996
Introduction to the BRS Thr, database can be searched on site during PDR Reading Room p hours.- 'V' . Offsite access is available using a modem or via a FedWorld Gateway using Telnet (see Appendix B for more information about FedWorld).
. Direct Internet access is planned for by early 1997.
BRS contains descriptions of the majority of documents placed in the PDR after October 1978 (when NRC began its computerized indexing program). The full text of selected documents (see Chapter 8 for more information)is attached to the description. An NRC contractor indexes the documents and prepares database citations and i the attached full text, as well as paper, microfiche, selected videotapes, and ad hoc diskettes of the documents for the PDR.
. Records generally are loaded on the database before the documents are available in the PDR.
. In most cases, full text is available from the database after the paper and microfiche have been received in the PDR.
. Accession lists back up the database records.
BRS DATABASE STRUCTURE: CITATION AND FULL TEXT 5
'IWo types of data records are available on BRS: citation and full text.
t ^ A citation provides a short description of a document, such as
. author and recipient name
. organization affiliation e microfiche address
. date ,
l
. report number
]
. summary of the subject and conteru Since 1995, in addition to a descriptive citation, BRS records contain the full text of selected document types (see Chapter 8 for more information).
PDR staff members also maintain tracking systems on BRS which track the availability of specific items. They are the systems to track
. FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) requests
. SECY papers (see Chapter 14)
. what is released (see Appendix E)
The PDR staff also occasionally adds temporary records for high-interest p documents received in advance of the system record. The key phrase " ADVANCE Q i COPY" is added to a temporary record as a mechanism for locating it. l NRC Public Document Room NUREG/BR-0231 1-3 BRS Users' Manual - September 1996
Introduction to the BRS BRS TRAINING Access to BRS is protected by a password. ;
. Individual applicants may obtain a password by returning a BRS application form to the PDR. Contact BRS staff tw a copy of the form.
. Passwords and documentation will be mailed to those who request them.
1\vo methods of training are available:
. The password holder may log on to BRS and learn how to search the database by accessing the menu-driven Online 1btorial (see Chapter 4).
. PDR staff also conducts classes in the PDR Training Room.
Availability of onsite training is limited and must be scheduled in advance. REPRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS Onsite Users Users who have an immediate need for copies of documents may use the self-service copier operated by the copy service contractor or one of the coin-operated microfiche reader / printers in the PDR Reading Room. Users in the Reading Room may also place orders directly with the copy service contractor. Offsite Users If more than three items are needed, state the request in writing (fax, letter, or e-mail). Orders for large documents also require written confirmation. If a citation from BRS is available, copy the citation for each item desired and include the microfiche address and accession number. Orders for new items on BRS cannot be processed without a microfiche address. A password holder can order documents directly, through the BRS Online Order Entry System (see Chapter 14). Order Processing After receiving an order, the reference staff will place the order with the copy service contractor for copying. A standing order program for selected document types is also available. Contact the PDR staff for more information. Reproduction fees and turnaround times vary, depending on the amount and kind of material. NUREG/BR-0231 NRC Public Document Room 14 BRS Users' Manual September 1996

It should be noted that BRS is case sensitive. Allinput must be typed in UPPER CASE. i Additionally, the Enter key must be pressed after each input for interaction with the computer. TELEPilONE NUMBER LIST FOR REMOTE ACCESS The telephone numbers for dialing into BRS are: First Rotary Second Rotary 202-634-1421 or 800-270-2787 202-634-3439 202-634-3434 202-634-3440 202-634-3435 202-634-3441 202-634-3436 202-634-3442 202-634-3437 202 4 34-3438 The two rotaries are separate; however, all phone numbers will support baud rates o) (
\_e up to 9600 or higher.
NRC Public Document Room NUREG/BR-0231 2-1 BRS Users' Manual September 1996
Getting Started In addition to the BRS direct-dial access, a FedWorld gateway provides limited BRS access using a modem or Telnet. See Appendix B for more information about FedWorld. ONSITE ACCESS The Bibliographic Retrieval System can be accessed through public personal computers (PCs) on site in the PDR Reading Room. Onsite use of the PCs has certain restrictions.
. Diskettes cannot be used on the Reading Room PCs.
. Printing to paper is restricted to a limited number of screens or records on the PC printers.
Users (onsite as well as offsite) may ask PDR staff to print out a limited number of citations from the high-speed printers in the Reading Room.
. Printouts can be held for pickup or mailed to the requester.
PASSWORDS All BRS users must have a password assigned by the PDR Training Coordinator (see Chapter 1).
. Passwords are personal and should be kept confidential. The individual holding the password is responsible for how it is used.
BRS allows only one active session at a time for each password.
. If a password is already in use, BRS will notify the user with the following message:
ONLY ONE ACTIVE SESSION ALLOWED PER USER USER ID CURRENTLY IN USE-ACCESS DENIED
. Therefore, it is important for users to keep their passwords secure and to log off the system properly.
PDR staff should be notified of any password problems. Passwords that have not been used in over a year may be deleted. Passwords can be reinstated upon request. The PDR shoidd always have a current address and phone numberforpassword holders in case the staff needs to contact the user: 1 O NUREG/BR--0231 NRC Public Document Room 2-2 BRS Users' Manual September 1996

Getting Started 4 f CONNECTING TO/ LOGGING ON BRS
,O Q) After the user connects to BRS, the next step is to press any key to access the password prompt:
PLEASE ENTER PASSWORD > > Type the assigned password and press the Enter key.
. The password will not normally be displayed on the screen. l If the password entry is invalid, BRS will notify the user with an error message:
INVALID LOGON ENTRY-ACCESS DENIED l l
. Then, the prompt:
l PLEASE ENTER PASSWORD > > l cues the user to retype the password. If the screen is blank, try typing the password anyway.
. If the screen stays blank, contact the reference staff for assistance.
If a valid password was used and connection to the system was successful, a logon message will be displayed. p, . These brief messages are used to notify users about changes and
- enhancements to BRS and PDR services.
If an active hit list was not dropped before logging off from the last search session, j that hit list will be restored and the following message will be displayed: IIIT LISTS LAST USED MM/DD/YY NOW ACTIVE WITII #### i HITS 1 i BRS will then display the prompt- l IDCS READY which allows the user to begin a search session or log off
. If a restored hit list is present, the hits must be dropped before a new I.
search can be initiated. DISCONNECTING FROM/ LOGGING OFF BRS (LOFF) The logoff command (LOFF) terminates a BRS session. l The order of commands for logging off BRS is as follows:
- 1. END
- 2. DROP t,J) 3. END NRC Public Document Room NUREG/BR-0231 BRS Users' Manual 2-3 September 1996
Getting Started
- 4. LOFF
. The first END command terminates a display, so is necessary only if a hit list is currently being displayed.
. The DROP command clears a hit list from the screen (if necessary).
(See information on DROP in Chapter 6.)
. BRS issues an S OK prompt.
. Since the LOFF command is only accessible from the IDCS READY prompt, an END command must be typed to terminate the search mode.
. BRS will then issue the IDCS READY prompt.
. Finally, LOFF exits BRS and disconnects the line.
The following information is then displayed: ENDING SESSIO7 ON (DATE) AT (TIME) LENGTII OF SESSION ### MINUTES If an active hit list was not dropped (DROP) before the LOFF command was typed, BRS responds: ACTIVE IllT LIST WITII ### IllTS RETAINED FOR USE IN NEXT SESSION TIIANK YOU FOR USING TIIE NRC-BRS BRS will then disconnect the PC. To prevent BRS telephone lines from being kept busy when there is no longer a search session in progress, the " automatic disconnect" feature is intended to disconnect the PC andfree the line to accept another call after 15 minutes ofinactivity.
. If BRS has been waiting for input from the user for 5 minutes, a message will be displayed:
WARNING! YOU WILL BE DISCONNECTED FOR INACTIVITY
. After another 5 minutes without user input, the message will be repeated. The user has an additional 5 minutes to interact with BRS.
If the user does not respond, BRS sends a final message: YOU llAVE BEEN DISCONNECTED FOR INACTIVITY
. The user will be automatically logged off from BRS and disconnected.
Any active hit list will be saved for the next session. To avoid telecommunication problems, the automatic disconnect feature should not be regarded as a replacement for the valid logoff method. In certain situations, the line may not disconnect. In that case, contact the reference staff for assistance. O NUREG/BR-0231 NRC Public Document Room 24 BRS Users' Manual September 1996

CIIAlvl'ER 3 FORMATS FOR SEARCIIING V; 4 BRS searches may be conducted using one of two formats.
. In the " command access" format, the user must type all commands and search statements to gain access to the database.
. The second format is " assisted search," which guides the user through
- the search process using menus and screens.
COMMAND ACCESS For BRS command access, the user types in search statements or commands for interaction with the computer.
. The user needs to be familiar with the syntax of the basic " search and l view" commands, field names, and content as well as Boolean operators.
l . The user must construct statements that BRS will recognize and 4 respond to with a " hit" list.
. See Chapters 5-14 of this manual for more information on using BRS 4 command access.

. BRS assisted se rch allows the user to choose the search and view commands, field names, and Boolean operators (relators) from menus.
. As in the command method, all interaction with BRS must be confirmed by pressing the Enter key.
. Search time may be slower in the assisted search mode because the menus lead the user step by step through the search process.
. Menus display hit list action choices and a list of field selections.
. After a field search has been selected, examples of correct data input appear on the screen to aid the user.

. In the assisted search mode, as in the command mode, the user should not search on long date or accession number ranges (larger than 1 year).
. The user should be wary of using the "less than"(< or LT) and
" greater than"(> or GT) relators because such searches may take a long time to respond with results.
. Other searches to be avoided include truncated statements that search large portions of the database, such as: DKT= 50/ or RPT= NUREG/.
. Just as in the command access mode, the Caps Lock key must be activated at all times for interaction with BRS.
Descriptions and detailed explanations of search statement components appear in later chapters of this manual (see Contents for subjects). Note that some BRS commands may not be available in the assisted search mode. O NUREG/BR-0231 y NRC Public Document Room September 1996 BRS Users' Manual

/ i ON-LINE TUTORIAL FOR COMMAND ACCESS O
Since the BRS Online 'Ibtorial was established in January 1994, users have had the option oflearning how to search on BRS from their own personal computers (PCs).
. Note: The PCs in the PDR Reading Room also provide access to the
'Ibtorial for those who wish to learn how to use BRS at their own pace in the PDR. Offsite users need to request a password to gain access to the Online 7btorial.
The Tutorial lessons provide inforrnation on basic search strategies and capabilities.
. The lessons contain search examples and interactive exercises which lead the student through the exercise by providing the correct data input.
. The 'Ibtorial teaches the command access mode in which the user types in a command or search statement for interaction with the computer.
TUTORIAL ACCESS e For hardware and software configurations and general BRS access information, ( see Chapter 2. Note that ANSI or VT100 terminal emulation is required to use the Tutorial. After connection and log-on have been completed (see Chapter 2), the IDCS READY prompt will be displayed.
'Iype the command MAIN and press the Enter key to access the main menu of the BRS Menu Access System.
. From the terminal type MENU, select a number for the appropriate terminal type, and type that number:
- 1. ANSI (color version of1btorial)
- 2. VT100 (black and white version of Tbtorial) )
- 3. Cancel (returns to IDCS READY prompt) i l

CHAPTER 5 O MANAGING THE SEARCH PROCESS l IDCS READY
.' The IDCS READY prompt appears immediately after log on and informs the user that BRS is waiting for input.
IDCS READY must also be accessed before log offis permitted. Most BRS commands are issued from the search mode, but a few must be issued from the IDCS READY prompt. Examples of those commands are:
. displaying a list of saved hit lists (DPRT)(Chapter 11)
. searching on an index of values for searchable fields (REPT)
(Chapter 6)
. the menu access command (MAIN)(Appendix G)
Here are two ways to access the IDCS READY prompt. [1.I (Mthr c~onnecting to BINI.DC5 RE5D litutomEtichlik appears. 'C c .. .

The Boolean operators indicate logical relationships. The system matches the search elements and combines the records in a hit list. AND l The "and" operator (AND or +) narrows a search, making the results smaller or more specific.
. AND restricts the results by retrieving only those records that contain all requested elements.
. In most cases, the word "and" is not required in the search statement.
BRS will default to the AND operator if no other operator is cited. Either the word "and" or the plus symbol "+" can be used in search statements to indicate this operator. NUREG/BR-0231 NRC Public Document Room 5-2 BRS Users' Manual September 1996
.. ._ _ . -- =, . .. - .
l Managing the Search Process
. The + symbol is used to combine two or more elements in one search p statement. \j .
The + symbol can only be used if the elements are in the same field, for example:
" Decommissioning" and " funds" are both key terms so they can be combined with the + operator in one statement:
KEY = DECOMMISSIONING + FUNDS However, a search combining a key term (e.g., i 4 KEY = DECOMMISSIONING) and a power plant docket number (e.g., DKT= 50029/) must be searched as two separate statements. Use of the + symbol may save keystrokes; however, keep in mind that the intermediate results of the search statement will not be displayed, only the final number of hits. The semicolon (;) may take the place of the Enter key in combining two search statements on the same line if space permits. The intermediate search results will not be displayed, only the final results of the search. IThc[AN6l operator isitated in'thisl search:_

OR expands the results by retrieving records that contain one element or the other, or that contain both descriptive elements. The word "or" or the comma (,) can be used for this operator. The comma is used to combine two or more elements in a single search statment and can only be used if both elements are in the same field, for example:
. ANAME = JACKSON S, ROGERS K is an acceptable statement because both elements are in the same field (author name or ANAME).
. Searching for documents by author (ANAME = JACKSON S) or recipient (RNAME = JACKSON S) requires two separate search statements because the fields are different.

Managing the Search Process RANGE SEARCIIING
/} I nge searching is used to search for documents issued over a certain period of Range searching is accomplished with the 'Ihb key and hyphen (-) and is useful for searching date fields (DATE) or accession number fields (ACN). See Chapter 7 for a further description of those fields.
. Because the database is so large, only short-range searches or a succession of short-range searches are recommended (a year or less).
. In a range search of more than a month, first narrow the hit list as much as possible using other search parameters.
. Do not conduct ACN or DATE range searches of more than a month as a first search statement. (In any given month, the PDR may receive more than 5000 documents).
. If the search covers a time period of an exact month or a year, it is more efficient to search using truncation rather than to specify the beginning and ending dates or accession numbers (see the section on truncation in this chapter).
Date Range Searching To search a date range (issue date), type in the beginning date (YYMMDD), press the Thb key, type a hyphen, then type the ending date (YYMMDD) and press the

,m DECODING
/ \
\V' 'Ib standardize data and avoid the use of long character strings in field contents, BRS uses shorter code names to replace the strings in certain fields which contain organization names, plant names (docket numbers), and document types.
. Since the user will not necessarily know the codes, BRS has a
" decodes" facility to locate the code names.
. When the records are viewed or printed, BRS adds the code value information to the record.
The decodes function can be used to find the codes. The decodes command (DECODES)is combined with a special code-type character and the English value: Character Code for Field Names
@ Name of Organization AA, RA, REFAFFIL (Affiliation)
# Name of Plant DKT (Docket Number)
Document Type Code DTC Examples follow of how to use the decodes function to locate codes for searching p BRS fields. DECODES for Organization Names BRS uses codes in place of the full name of an organization to search for documents related to an organization. When searching for information regarding an author affiliation (AA field), recipient affiliation (RA field), or reference affiliation (REFAFFIL field), first conduct a BRS search to find the unique code that has been assigned to replace the organization name. To find the code, use the code-type character "@" with the name of the company and press the Enter key. To avoid typing the complete name exactly as it was typed in the database, use truncation. For more information see the section on truncation in this chapter. Because truncation was used, there may be several hits. View the hits until the correct matching code is found.
. Use the full LOOK command to view the hit (s) and display the code.
Hint: if there are several hits, use LOOK,20 to view a full screen of
! tO. information at one time. See Chapter 9 for more information on 'C/ viewing records.

Type the code-type character "#" and the name of the facility.
. Use truncation to avoid matching the complete facility name word for word.
Note: Docket 30's cannot be decoded on BRS since no computerized code tables are available.

Managing the Search Process DECODES for Document Type Codes (s\i BRS uses codes in place of the full name of a document type. lb search by document type in the database, use the decodes facility first to find the code assigned to that value.
. T6 find the code, use the code-type character "*" followed by the document type.
. Tb avoid typing the complete name, abbreviate it with truncation.
Use the LOOK command to view the hit (s) and find the code. The code located by the search can then be used to search for documents with that document-type code in the DTC field.

m .. 9 I TRUNCATION BRS uses the forward slash (/) as the truncation symbol. Truncation allows the BRS user to search values with the same root. For example: 1
. a word and allits variations l
. a partial date ,
Truncation is also useful for cutting off endings. For example
. Use truncation if an author's first initial is unknown, or if there is uncertainty whether a key word is singular or plural.
Before using truncation in any search, the user should consider the possible size of the hit list that will result.
. If the statement is too broad, the hit list may contain too many irrelevant records to be useful.
. Also, avoid search statements which are likely to search large portions of the database and take a long time to respond with results O(/ (examples are DKT=50/ or RPT=NUREG/).
NRC Public Document Room NUREG/BR-0231 5-11 BRS Users' Manual September 1996
Managing the Search Process Because BRS interprets the fonvard slash as inmcation, alwqs replace it with a hyphen when typing any data containing a fonvard slash. For example:
. A search for the report "NUREG/CR-2900" would be typed as RPT= NUREG-CR-2900.
. When new records are loaded on BRS, the program checks for forward slashes in the data and converts them to hyphens.
- The user wants to locate a letter sign $d by(.Shiridy Ja6kson in $prilli996. The '
-user is uncertain whether the author uses a' middle initial and is not sure of the exact day the document lwas signed. Format for searching the*ANAME field is:

. The user initiates a break in the search by typing the BR command and pressing the Enter key (BR < ENTER > ).
. If a search is in progress when the BR signal is transmitted and recognized by BRS, the status of the current search is displayed. The user has the opportunity either to quit (Q) and accept the results up to that point or to continue (C) the search.

- IDCS READY L BACKUP (BKUP)
After a search has been narrowed with the AND operator, the user may decide the results are not useful and may wish to search in a different direction. In some cases, it is possible to retain the initial search.
. The user can start over by dropping the hit list and reentering the i original command, but it may be possible to save keystrokes by I
undoing the search with the backup command. l The backup command will restore hits removed by subsequent search statements, l i.e., if the original hit list was narrowed by use of the Boolean operator AND, this command allows the user to perform up to two backups of the current hit list.
. After BRS provides a hit count, type BKUP and press the Enter key; BRS should restore the previous hits.
1 O NUREG/BR-0231 NRC Public Document Room i September 19% BRS Users' Manual
Commands The backup command has certain limitations:
; . It will not function after the OR operator was used to broaden a V search, l
BKUP cannot be used with hits that have been converted to a set with the SETAS command. i . BKUP can be used to restore hits in a saved hit list retrieved at IDCS READY with SRCH < TAB > saved hit list. It cannot be used with the SAVE= command.

Lj T IllSTORY (IIIST) After performing a complicated search with a number of saves and sets, a user 4 may wish to reconstruct search statements no longer in view on the screen. The history command can be used to review previous search dialogue in the current search session.
. All user input and BRS responses during a search session are logged by BRS except for record displays and HIST commands.
. At log off, the log is erased. A new log begins with the new log on.
. If the session was terminated abnormally by a system failure rather than by a user log off, the log will be saved and will continue from the point of interruption.
' C NRC Public Document Room NUREG/BR-0231 BRS Users' Manual September 1996
Commands To review a search history, the user types HIST and presses the Enter key; BRS displays the first screen (20 lines) of the search dialogue, pauses, and issues the H > > prompt.
. The user can respond to the prompt as follows:
< ENTER > (Goes to next screen.)
U < ENTER > (Backs up one screen.) T< ENTER > (Goes to the top of the log.) B < ENTER > (Goes to the bottom of the log.) E < ENTER > (Ends display of HIST) Note: The password used to log on to BRS will be displayed on the screen with HIST To preserve password privacy, be careful where the HIST command is invoked. REPORT (REPT) The report command allows the user to search inverted indices of fields.
. All searchable fields on BRS have an index of values in alphanumeric order. A specified portion of this index may be displayed.using the report command.
'Ib use the report function, BRS must be at the IDCS READY prompt. 'lype REPT, press the Tab key, type the field name, type the equal sign (=), type the field contents, and press the Enter key.
. BRS displays a portion of the index in alphanumeric order and the number of hits associated with each value, beginning with the specified value, and pauses with an R > > prompt.
. At the prompt, choose to end the display by typing END and pressing the Enter key or continue by pressing any key (except D or V) and then the Enter key.
. When finished with the report command, access the search mode to continue searching.
REPT is useful for determining how certain information has been entered in the database, such as the spelling or mispelling of an author's name or the format of a report number. O NUREG/BR-0231 g NRC Public Document Room September 1996 BRS Users' Manual

CIIAPTER 7 7 SEARCHING BRS FIELDS I J BRS records contain an indefinite number of fields. Any indexed field is searchable. To search an indexed field, type the BRS field name (see Appendix A for a complete list of field names) followed by the equal sign (=), then type the field contents that match the information to be located and press the Enter key. See also Appendix D of this manual for a " cheat sheet" of common BRS file level searches. This chapter explains field contents and gives examples of typical field searches. Various viewing formats arv illustrated in the examples in this section. See Chapter 9 for more information on viewing records. ACCESSION NUMBER (ACN) The accession number (ACN) field contains a 10-digit number consisting of a 6-digit indexing date followed by a 4-digit sequential number (YYMMDD####).
. Each BRS record is assigned a unique accession number.
If the accession number of a document is known, the BRS record can be located by typing the command ACN = followed by the number and pressing the Enter key. rh (b' . It is also possible to use truncation or to search a range of accession numbers (see Chapter 5). Note that the accession number of a document is also used to link the record with the electronic full text (if the full text is available) on BRS.
. The corresponding accession number is displayed at the beginning of each full-text document.

Searching BRS Fi:lds DOCKET NUMBER (DKT) (_)' Each utility or institution licensed by NRC is assigned a docket number, which consists of the part number in 10 CFR under which they are licensed, followed by an assigned number. A single docket may contain thousands of documents. Tb shorten the search, enter the letter category if it is known. Since such a large number of documents relate to Dockets 50 and 52, these documents are further subdivided by letter categories.
. The various types of documents assigned to each category are described in detail in NUREG/BR-0052, Public Document Room File Classification System, Rev. 2.
. Use truncation (e.g., DKT= 50029/) to search all categories.
If the docket number is known, the BRS record can be located by typing the command DKT= followed by a 5-digit nurnber (fill with zeros if necessary), a letter category, and pressing the Enter key.
. For example, to find inspection reports relating to Yankee Rowe (Docket 50-29), type the command DKT=500290.
. Most plant name codes (docket numbers) can be located on BRS by means of the DECODES facility. See Chapter 5 for more !
information on DECODES. l [' (v )) All other docket numbers are entered as 7 digits in the docket number field (fill with zeros if necessary). l l l
. Truncation is unnecessary since letter categories are not used for other dockets.
For example: DKT 30. ... DKT= 30/#### DKT 40 ..... DKT= 40##### DhT 70 . . . DKT= 70##### DKT 71. . . DKT= 71##### .C's k)- NRC Public Document Room - NUREG/BR-0231 BRS Users' Manual September 1996

Searching BRS Fields l l l I FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT NUMBER (FIA) The Freedom of Information Act number (FIA) field contains the unique number assigned by NRC to an individual Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request or appeal.
. This field is a 2-digit year followed by a hyphen and a 3-digit sequential number. For example,95-100 would be the 100th FOIA request received by the FOIA Branch in 1995.
. If the material being indexed relates to an appeal to a FOIA request, the appeal number will also be captured in the FIA field. Appeal numbers consist of a 2-digit year, an A (for appeal), and a sequential number, for example,95-A-1.
If the Freedom of Information Act number is known, the BRS record can be located by typing the command FIA = followed by the FOIA number or appeal number and pressing the Enter key.
. Drop any leading zeros after the hyphen; for example,94-020 would be typed as FIA= 94-20.
. BRS will retrieve all records containing the designated FOIA number in the FIA field: the request letter, the response (s) from NRC, and any indexed documents released by NRC related to the request number.
. A FOIA request may result in several responses over a period of time.
. The FOIA tracking system record will also be retrieved by FIA. (See Chapter 13 for more information.)

Searching BRS Fields PROJECT NUMDER (PRJ) The project number (PRJ) field contains a number assigned by NRC to a project that is in a preapplication stage.
. Once NRC considers the application and the preliminary technical reports complete enough for review, a docket number is assigned to replace the project number.
. Project numbers may also be used to track activities where NRC has !
agreed to review documentation for another entity, but will not be issuing a license. In that case, no NRC docket number will be assigned.
. For more information on project numbers, see NUREG/BR-0052, PDR File Classification System, Rev. 2.
If the project number is known, the BRS record can be located by typing the l i command PRJ = followed by the 3-digit project number and pressing the Enter I key.
. Use truncation after entering the project number since an alphabetic character may follow the number in some of the records.
Note that the reference number (REF) field is used to search Project M files, which relate to projects under consideration for storage of waste.

Searching BRS Fields I 1 REPORT NUMBER (RPT) He report number (RPT) field is used to locate a report when the report number is known.
. He following types of NRC documents have assigned report numbers:
. ACRS transcripts e staff reports in the NUREG series e licensee event reports
. inspection reports e preliminary notices of occurrence
. regulatory guides
. generic letters
. information notices
. bulletins
. SECY papers
. See the file level search guide in Appendix D of this manual for examples of field contents by type of report.
. A record may contain multiple RPT fields to capture all variations of the numbers.
For example, a report prepared by a contractor may also specify the NRC NUREG number, the contractor's report number, as well as a part number, a revision number, a volume number, or a supplement number. If the report number is known, the BRS record can be located by typing the command RPT= followed by the report number and pressing the Enter key.
. Replace any forward slash in the report number with a hyphen, since BRS recognizes the forward slash as a truncation symbol.
. Drop any leading zeros between or after hyphens.

CIIAPTER 8 t'] SUBJECT SEARCIIING C BRS has two commands available to search for records by the subject content. The KEY and WORD commands search the descriptive title lines of the records (L1-L4). When records are loaded on the database, the BRS program examines words in the title lines and indexes them if they fit into either category. Title lines are either exact titles or descriptions written by indexers. There is no guarantee that they contain a complete or accurate description of the subject content. The KEY command uses a controlled vocabulary to search the title lines of the database for words or phrases, along with their synonyms, abbreviations, and ending variations, which match exactly the terms in the source dictionary installed on BRS. The Thesaurus (BRWS command) and the FNDKY command will aid users in locating valid key terms. The WORD command is used for uncontrolled vocabulary searches of single words and number combinations in the title lines which are not in the BRS dictionary. The WORD command will locate matches to words exactly as they appear in the title. Not all words have been indexed. Some unindexed words are not useful terms (for example: a, an, the). Other unindexed words are too common, resulting in too large an index. During r. WORD search, BRS sends a message if the word is unindexed because it occurs too often and would make the index too
, large.
l \ () The TEXT command searches only full-text attachments to citations, not the title hnes of the citations. The following sections of this chapter explain in more detail how to use the KEY, WORD, BRWS, FNDKY, 'nd TEXT commands for subject searching. FINDING KEYWOllDS (FNDKY) The " find key" command (FNDKY)is used to locate a list of valid key terms from either the title of a document or from a string of words.
. The key terms can be used to perform broad subject searches within the KEY fields.
To use the find key command, type FNDKY and press the Enter key.
. The FNDKY command may be issued from either IDCS READY or S OK prompts.
. FNDKY may be used with an active hit list.
. When prompted by BRS, type a title or any word string of up to 240 characters for which key term matches are sought Do not use any punctuation. Truncation is allowed, p

. Do not press the Enter key at the end of a line since word wrapping is
( permitted in FNDKY. Press the Enter key when you have finished typing to see the results.
. BRS wil) display a list of valid key terms from the BRS dictionary.
. If the combination of words entered results in a repetition of the same key term, the list will also repeat those key words.
. If no key terms are displayed, BRS did not locate valid key words to match the words entered.
. Immediately after the key term display, BRS reissues the FNDKY prompt to allow another list of words to be entered if desired.
. The FNDKY prompt will continue to be reissued until the user types END.

Subject Searching CONTROLLED KEYWORD / TITLE SEARCIIING (KEY) ' O). ~/ Key terms are controlled vocabulary terms used to obtain subject access to the BRS records. Key terms are machine produced by BRS rather than by indexers. The terms are taken from the title lines of the records. BRS uses a method of controlled title searching (CTS) to scan the titles and generate key terms when new records are added to the BRS database. Words or phrases are compared electronically against a CTS Source Dictionary resident on the PDR computer. When matches are found, the resulting words or phrases are automatically added to the KEY field (s)of a BRS record. The current method of indexing includes most records placed in the PDR since October 1978 and selected earlier records (Record Identification Numbers (RIDS) 6000 and higher). Note the availability of two other database files on BRS which were indexed separately. Key terms were assigned by indexers; terms, as well as fields, may differ from records in the main database. (See Appendix A for an explanation of PRDI and PRI records.) Subject searching with key terms has certain advantages: The related synonyms, abbreviations, and varied word endings have G been analyzed and added to the dictionary. The user is not required V) to think of every possible combination of a word if a key term is available. Subject searching with key terms also has certain limitations that the searcher should be aware of when analyzing the results of a search:
. The title field usually consists of a description rather than a title; this may not accurately reflect the subject content of the document.
. He descriptions are freeform prose so the source dictionary cannot capture every form of a word the indexer may have used, which often includes non-standard abbreviations.
Context and meaning of the words are not analyzed by the Dictionary.
. The program only finds exact matches between approved words or phrases in the title lines and the Source Dictionary entries.
. New terms are added to the Dictionary periodically based on PDR staff and user input, but there may be a considerable time lag from the first appearance of a new term on BRS to inclusion in the Dictionary. Use WORD command for newer terms.
Key terms can be located with the FNDKY command. See the section on FNDKY in this chapter. A list of preferred terms and their relationships, including "see" references, is p available in the BRS Resaurus (see the section on BRWS in this chapt t for more i T information).

Subject Searching l To search the key fields, type KEY = followed by the term (s) of choice and press I the Enter key.
. Use Boolean operators to combine multiple terms.
. Truncation can be used with the KEY command to search for all versions of words with a similar root; but be aware that truncation can result in very large hit lists as well as longer search time.

Subject Searching BROWSING TIIE TIIESAURUS (BRWS) (y (v) The BRWS command gives the searcher online access to the BRS Thesaurus.
. A paper copy of the Thesaurus is also available. Contact the reference staff to order a photocopy.
'Ihe Thesaurus is a list of valid key terms to use in searching the database.
The main terms are the preferred terms referring to a concept. The
" main term"(MT) will have a " top term"(TT), and may also have
" scope notes"(SN) as well as one or more " broader terms"(BT),
" narrower terms" (NT), and "related terms" (RT) or "used for" (UF) terms underneath.
Scope notes explain use of the term in the context of searching the database or provide additional information.
. Broader, narrower, and related terms are conceptual not hierarchical.
. Usedfor entries are synonyms to the main term. The main term has been chosen as the term preferred by the CTS Dictionary when it encounters those words.
. Top terms are used in construction of the Thesaurus. They are not searchable but classify terms into broad categories.
. Usedfor entries are cross references to one or more preferred I terms.
I
) To search BRS with the browse command:
. Type BRWS, press the Tab key, type a key term of choice, and press the Enter key, or
. Type BRWS and press the Enter key, and when BRS prompts for entry of a main term, type MT.
. The BRWS command may be used with an active hit list.
. BRWS may be accessed either from the IDCS READY or S OK prompts.
If a word that is not an actual key term is typed, BRS will respond with a numbered alphabetic list of terms from the Thesaurus beginning with the v'ord entered by the searcher.
. Legitimate main terms appear in upper case; lower-case listings followed by "at" symbols (@) are "used for" references.

UNCONTROLLED TITLE SEARClllNG (WORD) The KEY command is used for subject searching of the title fields using a controlled vocabulary; the WORD command is used for uncontrolled searching of the title fields. The WORD command allows the user to search single word and number combinations which are not listed in the BRS Thesaurus.
. When records are added to BRS, all "non drop" words and numbers in the title lines are indexed.
. If a word is not indexed, BRS will notify the user that it is not a searchable word.
. The WORD command can be used to search all records on BRS except for PRI records (which normally do not contain title fields).
. The index does not contain cross references, synonyms, abbreviations, l
or phrases: therefore, variations of words or numbers will require combination searches or truncation. . . . _ . . O NUREG/BR-0231 pg NRC Public Document Room September 1996 BRS Users' Manual
Subject Searching q The WORD command is useful for locating names, abbreviations, report numbers, or dates that were not captured in another field, but that are in the description. e
. Unlike the KEY command, words pulled out of the title field do not generate fields in the BRS record; however, the search format is similar in most respects.
While performing a subject search, in order to capture all possible combinations of words, it may be useful to employ both the KEY command and the WORD command.
'Ib search with the WORD command, type WORD = followed by the number, abbreviation, or date to be searched and press the Enter key.
1 The words to be searched must be entered emerly as they appear in , the title lines (be sure to include leading zeros in report numbers, l etc.). ! Date entries usually follow BRS date field conventions but may list both a beginning and ending date.

!12 filTSi ;f FULL-TEXT / ABSTRACT SEARClllNG (TEXT)
BRS has the capability of searching and retrieving selected electronic full-text documents and abstracts.
. Although the majority of the records are citations only, selected documents are available on BRS in ASCII full-text format.
. Full-text documents processed from 1995 to the present are available now. Older documents will be added later.
The following document types are available in full text (this list is subject to change):
. ACRS and ACNW committee and subcommittee meeting minutes
. ACRS and ACNW reports
. ASLBP hearing transcripts on Seabrook NRC Public Document Room NUREG/BR-0231 8-11 BRS Users' Manual September 1996
Subject Searching
. bulletins e information notices
. licensee event reports
. enforcement notifications
. generic letters / administrative letters e press releases / speeches
. Title 10 of the Code of Fedemi Regulations e congressional correspondence
. high-level-waste respository documents
. staff requirements memoranda (SRMs)
A microcomputer supporting VT100 or ANSI emulation is required to search, view, and download full text on BRS. This section shows how to search for full-text documents.
. See Chapter 10 for instructions on viewing full text and searching within the displayed text.
. For information on downloading full text, see Chapter 12.
Disclaimer: Full text documents on BRS are not necessarily the same as the paper or microfiche versions, since the BRS versions may not contain attachments, graphics, or signatures. BRS also does not show edits of documents (redline, strikeouts). The BRS full-text version usually arrives after corresponding documents have been released in paper and microfiche form. Full-Text Searching
. When full text is loaded on BRS, the document type code TXT is added to the corresponding record by the BRS program.
. Abstracts will have the document type code ABS.
. A searchable date field, TXT_, UPDATE, is appended to the record by BRS each time text is added or modified.
l . Records and text are linked together by the accession (ACN) number for the document. The accession number is listed at the top of each full-text document. The TEXT command searches only for words within the indexed text of the documents, whereas WORD and KEY commands search only the title lines of the records. These indexes are completely separate and must be searched individually using TEXT KEY, and WORD.
. The TEXT command may be combined with WORD and KEY while performing Boolean searches.
. Most words in the text are indexed except for approximately 37 drop words, such as "and," "or," and "the."
NUREO/BR-0231 NRC Public Document Room 8-12 September 1996 BRS Users' Manual
Subject Searching i There are two ways to get a hit list of full-text documents on BRS: V 1. Use the command TEXT = ACCESSION. Every full-text document contains the word " accession" followed by tl e 10-digit number assigned to the record.
- 2. The field search DTC=TXT should also retrieve records with text attached. BRS appends this document type code to the records when the full text is loaded.
The TEXT command has some additional features currently not available for WORD and KEY:
. TEXT will perform proximity searches and searches of imbedded characters within the text of the document (hyphens, slashes, ampersands, etc.). Otherwise, the conventions for searching with TEXT are similar to those for WORD and KEY.
'Ib search full text on BRS, type TEXT = followed by the word or expression to be searched and press the Enter key.
. Use of parentheses and quotation marks distinguishes the TEXT search command from other BRS search commands.
. See the examples that follow for proper command structure for various types of full-text searches.

CIIAPTER 9 VIEWING SEARCII RESULTS (CITATIONS) v RECORD DISPLAY After BRS responds to a search command with a hit list count, the user may view the results of the search. Various predefined display options, as well as certain custom-designed formats, are available. Records are normally displayed in descending record identifier (RID) order with the most current citations at the top of the hit list. The most current records were added to the database last; they will not necessarily have the latest issue dates or accession dates.
. RID is a unique number used to identify each record in the database.
RIDS have both a major and minor value and are displayed as follows: #####l###. In a display, the first line in each record consists of the RID number followed by a record number (beginning with #1). The record number is not a permanent identifying number.
. It places each record in numerical order within the current hit list.
The user may specify a record number or a range of record numbers
) to view rather than beginning with the first hit.
There is also a limited SORT command available v fiich allows records to be sorted in order by certain specified fields, such as DATE or PFL. See the secti m on SORT in Chapter 11 for more information. During a record display, BRS normally pauses at the end of each record with a display prompt (D > > ) requiring further input from the user. To view the next record, press any key (except D or V) followed by the Enter key. (If the Enter key alone is pressed, the display prompt will merely be repeated.) Note: D and V are commands reserved for downloading or displaying full text and will generate an error message if used for continuing record display. Terminate record display at any time at the D> > prompt with the END < ENTER > command. BRS will respond with the hit count. After the last record in tha hit list has been displayed, press any key (except D or V) and the Enter key; then the hit count will return. The next sections in this chapter explain the BRS display formats available for viewing citations in more detail. For information on viewing text, see Chapter 10. f . For explanation on downloading records or text, see Chapter 12. NRC Public Document Room NUREG/BR-0231 9_1 , BRS Users' Manual September 1996
Viewing Search Results (Citations) l DISPLAYING RECORDS WITIl LOOK AND DISP LOOK and DISP are the two BRS commands used to display records.
. Either command may be used, but the results may be different; LOOK will retrieve code definitions; DISP will not.
LOOK and DISP commands may be modified to view complete or partial citations. Full or partial displays may be preferred in certain situations.
. A full record display is required for viewing records that do not contain standard field names, such as DECODES tables (see Chapter
- 5) or Tracking Records (see Chapter 13). ,
. The full display option is not recommended for viewing records of generic documents, such as generic letters, information notices, or bulletins. A full display of a single record can consist of several screens. Documents that are sent to hundreds of addressees will list every docket number and recipient affiliation.
The sections that follow explain in more detail how to use the display commands to view full or selected partial citations. 1 LOOK To viewfidl records in standard order, type LOOK and press the Enter key after BRS has provided a hit list count.
. LOOK will display all fields in the record as well as any available code definitions, if the field contents on view are in code form.
Note: Not all display formats will invoke a search of the code tables; SKIM, for example, does not display any fields containing codes.
. BRS will search the code tables (document types, docket numbers, and affiliations) and attach that information to the record.
Note: Searching the code tables increases the BRS response time. DISP DISP may be substituted for LOOK with any of the display formats.
. Typing the DISP command and pressing the Enter key will display a complete BRS record.
DISP differs from LOOK in that any DECODES definitions will not be displayed.
. DISP does not search the BRS code tables and add that information to the record.
. A benefit of the DISP command is that BRS response time may be decreased considerably.
l l . If the code information is desired, do not use DISP. NUREG/BR-0231 NRC Public Document Room
-2 BRS Users' Manual September 1996
Viewing Search Results (Citations) LOOK,0 p LOOK,0 (0 = zero) or DISP,0 is used most often for downloading citation records since it does not pause for user input after each record.
. Citations scroll continuously on the screen until the hit count returns.
LOOK,0 may be combined with any viewing format. [F$r examfld:' , y }
~ B'RSk50 HITS T USER:LOOK,0 < TAB 5 SKIM < ENTER >
See Chapter 12 for more information on using this command to download records. Because hit lists can be very large, LOOK,0 should be used with caution.
. The BREAK function can be invoked, but sometimes there will be a delay in the BREAK response.
LOOK,20 The LOOK,20 or DISP,20 format issues the display prompt (D> >) at the end of 20 lines rather than at the end of the record.
. Twenty lines is approximately a full screen.
. This format permits faster viewing because the prompt is not issued after every record.
. Also, a record longer than a full screen will not scroll past the first screen without viewer input.
Note: Do not use LOOK,20 for displaying records with full text attached (if full-text viewing is desired), since BRS does not pause at the end of the record to allow input of the V or D commands. LOOK,20 or DISP,20 may be combined with any standard display format.

SAVING SEARCIIES b . MARKING RECORDS TO SAVE (MARK) The MARK command allows the user to select or delete hits from a hit list during the viewing process.
. The MARK command can be used with the standard display formats (such as SKIM or SHORT) or with user-specified fields.
. See Chapter 9 for more information on displaying records.
The command structure is similar to LOOK or DISP, except for the display prompt actions.
. Instead of the D > > prompt issued in LOOK or DISP, a MARK? !
prompt pauses for yes (Y) or no (N) decisions from the user regarding ! retention of the displayed record in the hit list. ' MARK may benefit users of the Online Order Entry System (see Chapter 14). MARK allows the user to remove unwanted documents from a hit list before submitting the order to the photocopy contractor. (~ To use the command, type MARK, press the Tab key, type the selected display \g} format, and press the Enter key after completing a search or recalling a saved hit list.
. At the end of each displayed record, BRS issues the MARK? prompt.
l Appropriate responses are Y < ENTER > (yes)-BRS retains the hit and displays the next record. N< ENTER > (no)-BRS removes the hit from the hit list and displays the next record. END < ENTER > -Ends the record display and processes the remaining hits, providing a final hit count.
. If END is chosen, BRS responds with another prompt: MARK THE REST? (that is, do you want to keep all the remaining hits?).
. The user must reply with a yes (Y) or no (N) before processing can be completed:
. Y < ENTER > -BRS retains the remaining hits and provides a final hit count.
. N < ENTER > -BRS deletes the remaining hits, including the record on display when the END command was issued, and provides a final hit count.
(m \ () The final hit count reflects the results of using the MARK command. NRC Public Document Room NUREG/BR-0231 II-I BRS Users' Manual September 1996
Saving Searches
. The remaining hits may then be used with any BRS command, including MARK.
. MARK can also be used with a sorted hit list. (See the appropriate section of this chapter for more information on SORT.)
. It is recommended that the final hit list be saved before proceeding with further operations on the MARKED hit list.

Saving Searches REVIEWING A SAVED SEARCII (DPRT) O' The DPRT command is useful as a tracking device to display a log of all searches saved by the user within the last 30 days. Saved searches are automatically erased by BRS after 30 days; older saves will not be available. To use DPRT, first end the search mode by typing END if not currently at IDCS READY. At the IDCS READY prompt, type DPRT and press the Enter key. BRS will respond with a list of saved searches which are 30 days old or less, listing the name the search was saved under, the user's ID, and the date on which the search was saved. (Users will only be able to see a log of searches saved under their personal password.) BRS then returns to the IDCS READY prompt.
- For example:
BRS:: IDCS READY ~ USER:DFRT< ENTER > BRS: : DEC801000]95324,;
- JAN92[000]95325, . >
lPRJ691[0G0]95340, .
- IDCS .REAIK In the example above, three saved hit lists are listed. The following information is supplied:
DEC80-The name of the saved hit list. [000]-The user identification in brackets. 95324-The date the list was saved (the 324th day of 1995). O U NRC Public Document Room NUREG/BR-0231 BRS Users' Manual 11-3 September 1996
Saving Searches SAVING SEARCil RESULTS (SAVEAS) Saving a Ilit List The SAVEAS command is used to store hits in a current hit list for later retrieval.
. A hit list may be saved at any time during the search process by assigning the list a unique name.
. If a particular name is already being used, BRS will notify the user and require a new choice.
To use SAVEAS, first create a hit list, then type SAVEAS, press the 'Ihb key, type the name of the list, and press the Enter key.
. Give the list a name from 3 to 8 characters in length.
. If the save is successful, BRS will respond with an OK message (V OK) and the hit count will be repeated.
The hits are still active after a save has been completed.
. The hits can then be used in further searching, but must be dropped to begin a new search.
The saved hit list will contain only the hits saved at that time.
. Records added to the database after the search was saved will not be added to the hit list, even though the records may meet the same l
search criteria. To conserve space on the database, BRS automatically erases hit lists older than 30 days.
. To retain the hits for a longer time period, retrieve the list before the 30 days are up and rename it.
. Note that if a user asks the PDR staff to print a saved hit list on the high-speed printer, the staff will normally erase the hit list after printing it, unless requested otherwise.

Saving Searches - Retrieving a Saved Hit List .O \ If necessary, first use the DPRT command to locate the names of hit lists saved previously. (See information on DPRT elsewhere in this chapter.) 1ko methods are available for retrieving saved hit lists:
- 1. lype SRCH, press the Thb key, and type the name of the list (SRCH < TAB > list name)in the IDCS READY mode.
. This command will retrieve the final saved hits as well as any hits from previous search statements used to create the hit list.
. If a Boolean search was conducted to create the saved list, it may be possible to use the backup command (BKUP) after retrieving the list and to recover hits from the earlier search statements. (Chapter 6 has more information on BKUP.)
The SRCH < TAB > method cannot be used with sorted lists. 2.
- The SAVE = list name command is used in the search mode (SRCH).
. It can be used with sorted lists.
. SAVE = will only retrieve the active hits from the final search statement before the SAVEAS command was used.
Erasing a Hit List O Saved hit lists can be permanently deleted from BRS with a variation of the drop command. Tb erase the hit list, type DROP, press the Thb key, type the name of the list, and press the Enter key.
. It is not necessary to retrieve the hit list before erasing it.
. If the hit list is retrieved before deletion, the hits will still be active and must be dropped before beginning a new search. Chapter 6 has more information on DROP.

Saving Searches DOWNLOADING WITH TERMINAL UNATTENDED (STACK) J' ( The STACK command is intended for users who wish to stack a series of commands and run them later with the terminal unattended. STACK should be run after one or more searches have been concluded and saved.
. STACK would most likely be used to download saved hit lists overnight.
. The STACK program does not have an edit check for mistakes in syntax or order of entry of the commands.
Successful running of the program requires that it be proofread for errors in spelling or structure. A menu allows the commands to be reentered or abandoned. To download with a terminal unattended, type STACK and press the Enter key in the search mode. BRS will respond with a prompt to "begin command stack" and will issues colon prompts for each line. Type each command in its proper format using the Tab and Enter keys etc., one command per line. When STACK entries are completed, type ENDSTACK and press the Enter key, p) \ N

If executing STACK, be sure communication with disk or printer is established before pressing the Enter key. Be sure to type END after the last DROP, and type LOFF as the final command so the terminal is logged off from BRS at the conclusion of the STACK program. If downloading more than one hit list using STACK, be sure to enter a DROP command for each list before recalling the next one.
. Otherwise, BRS will only recognize the first hit list entered and will print that list until it sees a DROP to execute.
If downloading records, users should be familiar with the function keys of their individual communications software. p . Set communications to capture mode for printer or disk before executing STACK. NRC Public Document Room NUREG/BR-0231 BRS Users' Manual II-9 September 1996

Saving Searches SORTING SEARCll RESULTS (SORT) f ( The sort command (SORT) gives BRS searchers the ability to sort hit lists by specified field names for viewing or downloading. ~BRS sends the hit list to a queue while sort is processing. When completed, BRS notifies the user and the sorted hit list may then be retrieved.
'Ib use the sort command, first create a hit list or retrieve a previously saved list.
After the hit count is displayed, press the End key and the Enter key to access the IDCS READY prompt. The sort command can also be used in the search mode.
. Note that the maximum size hit list which may be sorted is 500 hits.
BRS will respond with an error message if the hit list is over the limit: Maximum Ilitlist Size of 500 Exceeded The following fields may be sorted: ACN, DKI'E, FICHE, or PFL See Chapter 7 for more information about those fields. Records in the hit list that do not contain l the field to be sorted will appear at the beginning of the sorted list.
. If an attempt is made to sort any other field, an error message will result:
INVALID FIELD NAME To sort by the paper file location (PFL) field, type SORT, press the 'Ihb key, type PFL, and press the Enter key: .O SORT < TAB > PFL < ENTER > As a further option, the user may specify ascending (A) or descending (D) order for the sort, for example: SORT < TAB > PFL= D < ENTER > j
. If order is not specified, BRS will default to ascending order.
After the SORT command has been given, BRS will prompt the user to give a name to the sorted list. (See the section on saving hit lists in this chapter for more information.)
. BRS notifies the user that the sort request has been put into a queue and returns the hit list. Press the Enter key to prepare the terminal for the SEE message.
WARNING! Do not try to retrieve the sorted list until notification has been given that the sort is completed! If the uncompleted sorted list is displayed prematurely, a single record will result. Press the End key to return to SRCH or IDCS READY. The hits from the original unsorted list are still present on the screen. The user may drop the hits, save them, make a set, or conduct further searches on the original hits while waiting for the SORT to finish. (N When the sort has been completed, BRS will save it under the specified name and will post a SEE message to the user who requested the sort.

Saving Searches
. If the user is still logged on, notification of the waiting message will be given. '
. If the user has logged off, the notification will be given at the next log on.
The user can only retrieve a sorted hit list by typing SAVE = FILE NAME at the S OK prompt.
. The sorted list can then be viewed, downloaded, saved, or dropped, but can no longer be modified. (An exception is that the MARK command may be used with a sorted list.)

t/ DOWNLOADING / PRINTING SEARCII RESULTS CITATIONS The BRS commands used to print or download citations are LOOK,0 or DISP,0.
. Formats forprinting records are the same as for viewing them.
. See Chapter 9 for more complete information on available display formats.
LOOK,0 is a display command. The records scroll on the screen without pausing for user input, thus speeding the download process.
. LOOK,0 should only be used for downloading citation records.
Sending a Ilit List to a Printer or a Disk
. Type the LOOK,0 command, indicating the desired display format.
. For example, LOOK,0 < TAB > SKIM will print or download the citations in SKIM format.
. Press the correct function key combinations for sending information to a printer or a disk.
[D . Press the Enter key to begin the display.
\ '- ) Offsite users should consult the PC manual for the communications software installed on their computer for directions on opening a log file, capturing data to a disk, or sending signals to a printer.
DISP,0 may be substituted for LOOK,0.
. DISP differs from LOOK in that it do'es not search the BRS code tables and add the code definitions to the records.
. DISP tends to respond faster than LOOK; however, the DISP command is only worthwhile to the user if the code information is not desired.
Using LOOK,0 Onsite and Offsite Since the LOOK,0 command slows down the BRS system, it is recommended that offsite users download no more than 1000 records, especially during the day. The public printers in the PDR Reading Room are not intended for high-volume use.
. Reading Room patrons should save the hit list and ask PDR staff to print anything over 500 lines (about 50 hits).
The PDR staff will print up to 1000 hits on the high-speed printers for offsite or . v[') ( onsite requesters. NRC Public Document Room NUREG/BR-0231 12-1 BRS Users' Manual September 1996

. 'See Chapter 10 for information on viewing full-text documents.
l, 'IWo methods are available on BRS for downloading full text:
, 1. The D command will permit a single document to be downloaded to a disk or 3- paper while viewing a citation record with full text attached.
j . The D command for full text is comparable to LOOK,0 for citations. I
. 'D' downloads the complete document without pausing at each screen j for user input.
- 2. The download command (DNLD) will download one or more full-text documents at a time from the IDCS READY prompt.
. The DNLD command downloads multiple documents from a user-created hit list with the KERMIT file-download protocol.
Records without full text attached should be removed to speed downloading (see Chapter 8). The DNLD command does not download citation records, only text. The examples at the end of this chapter provide more detail on how to use the full-text download commands. Since the full-text documents are displayed in a screen format, the Print Screen key can be used to print individual screens while viewing the documents with the V command See Chapter 10 for commands for viewing full-text records. Note: The key combinations necessary for opening a log file, sending signals to a i printer and accessing KERMIT, as well as default location for log files, will vary depending on the communications software installed on the user's PC.
. Consult the applicable software manual for that information.
Using D and DNLD Commands Onsite and Offsite The public printers in the Reading Room allow limited printing to paper with the D command (up to 250 lines). Since the public PCs do not have diskette download capability and printing is restricted, the DNLD command is available to offsite PC users only. The reproduction contractor will download dccuments from a user-saved hit list to paper or diskette for a fee. Multi-Media Reproduction Form 171A is used for this type of order. s Ask PDR staff for further information. NRC Public Document Room NUREG/BR--0231 BRS Users' Manual 12-3 September 1996 w m

CIIAPTER 13 [ g BRS TRACKING SYSTEMS
'J BRS Tracking System records are resident on the BRS database but are loaded individually by PDR staff. Both the field names and contents differ from standard BRS citation records.
The tracking systems provide information about the receipt and availability of advance paper copies in the PDR of two high-interest document types, SECY papers and responses to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. i In both cases, copies of released documents will eventually be assigned accession numbers, indexed, and microfiched by NRC, resulting in a system record as well as the tracking record on BRS. The difference between the two records should be apparent. However, , the BRS user should be aware of the record duplication when ordering copies of FOIA responses er SECY papers. Key terms are not added to new tracking records; however, any subsequent BRS backfit with the Data Dictionary will match key terms in the title lines L1-IA For this reason, older tracking records may be retrieved while conducting searches of the key field. Always use thefidl display format to view the records (LOOK or DISP) because /,,\ the records contain non-standard field names. h The following sections explain the tracking records in more detail and provide search examples. SECY TRACKING SYSTEM SECY papers (usually referred to as SECYs) are reports from NRC staff prepared for the Commissioners' review or information. The NRC Office of the Secretary (SECY) coordinates submittal of SECYs to the Commissioners and tracks comments and votes. SECY also controls release of the papers to the public. The SECYs are consecutively numbered within a calendar year. Not all SECYs are released to the public. When an advance paper copy is received in the PDR, a tracking record is loaded on BRS to announce that the SECY paper is available. We SECY tracking sy tem was initiated in 1987 to track receipt of SECY papers in the PDR. Some SECYs produced before 1987 will appear on the tracking system either because they were released at a later date or because the records were backfitted.

BRS 'Itacking Systcms l SECY'&acking System Fields RETFASED RELEASED is a searchable field unique to the SECY Tracking System which indicates the method of release to the public. SECYs may be released by any of the following means:
- 1. A direct release from the Office the Secretary (RELEASED = BATES A)
- 2. An attachment to a Commission meeting transcript (RELEASED = COMMISSION MEETING)
- 3. A response to a FOIA request (RELEASED = FOIA)
SNUM SNUM is a searchable number field unique to the tracking system. The SNUM field retrieves only SECY tracking records.
. The field contents are numerical and contain only the hyphenated SECY report number, for example: SNUM = 95-298.
. Truncation may be used to locate all SECYs written in a particular year, for example: SNUM = 95/.
. Any leading zeros following the hyphen are dropped.
The RPT field will retrieve both the system record and the tracking record.
. The RPT field consists of SECY followed by the number separated by hyphens.
. Any leading zeros should be dropped when searching this field; for example, SECY-95-029 would be entered as RPT= SECY-95-29.
RDATE RDATE is a searchable field containing the date on which the SECY paper was released to the PDR, for example: RDATE = 960123. l
. RDATE is unique to tracking records, but a field of the same name is used in the FOIA tracking system (response date).
. The release date will be stamped on the document by SECY if it is a direct release from that office.
. If released by a FOIA response, the RDATE is the same as the FOIA l response date.
. If released at a Commission meeting, the RDATE will be the same as the meeting date.
NUREG/BR-0231 NRC Public Document Room I~ BRS Users' Manual September 19%
BRS Tracking Systems DATE DATE is a searchable field which captures the actual date of the SECY paper, for example: DATE = 951130. L1 L1 is the first title line. L1 always identifies the record as a SECY Tracking Record (L1 = SECY TRACKING SYSTEM). j L2:IA L2 through L4 contain the title of the SECY paper. These lines are not searchable. l Note that tracking records provide the actual title of the SECY paper; ! whereas system records usually contain a description written by the indexer. If the SECY paper was released in a FOIA response, the fm' alline of the title will list the FOIA number and release date and indicate if the release was only partial. COMMENTS Some records may contain a non-searchable comment field about the SECY paper.

BRS Tracking Systems FOIA TRACKING SYSTEM The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Tracking System tracks receipt of responses to FOIA requests in the PDR. Advance paper copies of FOIA responses are sent to the PDR by the FOIA-LPDR Branch of NRC. The tracking system was initiated in 1987. The initial tracking records are based on a list prepared by the FOIA-LPDR Branch containing information on pending FOIA requests received as well as responses completed by the branch in a given week.
. A hard copy of the list is kept in the PDR for a limited time.
. The lists are not separately indexed or microfiched, but an abbreviated version can be found in NRC's WeeklyInformation Report.
At the time the PDR staff enters the tracking records, no documents related to the requests are in the PDR.
. After an advance copy of the FOIA package is received in the PDR, the record is updated with the addition of a release date (RDATE).
Released FOIA packages contain the following items:
- 1. The letter from the requester If there is more than one response to the same request, a copy of the letter will be enclosed with each response but will be indexed only once. (It will be microfiched with each package, however.)
- 2. The response from the FOIA-LPDR Branch There may be multiple partial responses.
- 3. Appendices listing documents released, partially released, or withheld Appendices are alphabetic (Appendix A-Z, AA-ZZ, etc.).
- 4. Any released documents marked with their corresponding appendix numbers (A/1, etc.)
Not all FOIA responses are sent to the PDR.
. Only FOIA packages that meet release criteria as determined by the FOIA-LPDR Branch will be sent to the PDR.
. If the FOIA-LPDR Branch completes the request, but does not release the response to the public, a notation of "no PDR" is made on the tracking record.

BRS Tracking Systems FOIA 'IYacking System Fields FNUM
' FNUM is a searchable number field unique to the tracking system containing the FOIA number or appeal number assigned by NRC to the request.
. FOIA requests are numbered consecutively within a calendar year; 95-100 would be the 100th request received in 1995.
. FNUM will retrieve only FOIA tracking records. To search this field, type FNUM = followed by the FOIA number, for example:
FNUM = 95-200.
. Truncation may be used to locate al. tracking records for a given year, as in FNUM = 95/.
. A tracking record may contain multiple FNUM fields. When a response to an appeal is received, the appeal number is entered as an FNUM in the record of the original request.
. Appeal numbers consist of a year, an 'A'(for appeal), and a consecutive number, for example: type FNUM = 95-A-10 to locate the record for the tenth appeal received in 1995.
EIA FIA is a searchable field containing the FOIA number. The FIA field is common to the FOIA tracking record and any system records related to the FOIA number.
. An example of the search statement follows:
FIA = 95-200 < ENTER >. Always drop any leading zeros after the hyphen.
. A search of the FIA field will retrieve all documents related to the FOIA which have been indexed, as wei' as the tracking record.
. There may be multiple responses to the same FOIA. Each individual response will be indexed as a separate }cackage, but will have the-identical number in the FIA field.
FNAM FNAM is a searchable field containing the requester's last name. FNAM is unique to the FOIA tracking system.
. Use FNAM to search for tracking records of all FOIAs filed by a specific requester, for example: FNAM = JONES.
. In some cases, INDIVIDUAL is eraered in the FNAM field because the name of the requester was not released by the FOIA-LPDR Branch.
Use FNAME or ANAME to search for all indexed documents related to a particular requester. D .(O NRC Public Document Room NUREG/BR-0231 13-5 BRS Users' Manual September 1996 i J
BRS Tracking Systems RDATE RDATE is a searchable date field capturing the date of the response by the FOIA office to the FOIA request, for example RDATE = 960201.
. Every time a FOIA package is received in the PDR, the RDATE is added to the tracking record. The SECY tracking system also uses this field name (release date).
. The FOIA-LPDR Branch frequently issues multiple partial responses to a request, so a tracking record may contain several RDATE fields.
. If a tracking record contains no RDATE field, the PDR has no documents relating to that FOIA request.
TYPE 'Ihe TYPE field is a searchable field used to provide certain information about the FOIA response. TYPE was added to the FOIA tracking system in 1994.
. TYPE = NO PDR means the FOIA request and response will not be sent to the PDR.
. TYPE = NO DOCUMENTS means that the FOIA response did not release any documents in response to the request.
L1 L1 is the first line of the de::cription. It is not a searchable field but is always used to identify the record as a tracking record (L1 = FOIA TRACKING SYSTEM RECORD). L2 L2 provides a brief description of the FOIA request. COMMENTS This nonsearchable field is used to provide certain information about the FOIA request. For example:
. 'Ib distinguish the response date related to an appeal from a response to the original FOIA request:
COMMENTS: RESPONSE DATED 950405 IS TO 95-A-6
. Prior to 1994, this field was used instead of TYPE to indicate that the PDR did not receive the FOIA response:

'mJ TIIE ONLINE ORDER ENTRY SYSTEM (OOES)
OVERVIEW ' The menu-driven Online Order Entry System permits offsite BRS users to submit a reproduction order directly to the copy service using a BRS hit list, usually without intervention of PDR staff. Although the reproduction contractor prints and processes most online orders, any problems or questions about the OOES program should be addressed to the PDR reference staff. OOES can be generated by the ORDR command, from the main menu of the Menu Access System or from Assisted Search. 2
. The user conducts a search on BRS, chooses documents from the resulting hit list, and submits the order electronically.
. The reproduction contractor prints the submitted orders with fiche addresses, copies the documents, and delivers them to the customer.
. If a BRS record does not contain a valid 48x microfiche address at the time an order is submitted, the order will be relayed to the PDR staff for review before transmittal to the reproduction contractor.
OPERATING GUIDELINES (g \ V llit Lists OOES can accommodate a maximum hit list of 200 records. A larger hit list will be rejected. The contractor will reproduce everything on the submitted hit list. Remove any records for unwanted documents in advance. Entering Information Where user input is required, OOES provides menus of valid options whenever possible. Type the preferred letter or number or respond to queries.
. Always press the Enter key to confirm any selection.
Escape In several OOES menus, QUIT is a menu selection; In other situations, OOES may specify that ESCAPE is an option. ESCAPE will abort the program or return to a previous step.
. Either the Escape key (Esc) or the caret symbol (^)(usually Shift 6 keys) may be used. Two choices are available because some terminals C1 or communications software reserve the Escape key for other purposes. .-
NRC Public Document Room NUREO/BR--0231 BRS Users' Manual I 1 September 1996
Online Order Entry System (OOES) Customer Information Profile When submitting an order for the first time, a customer profile must be completed. This provides the billing and delivery information for the copy service. A unique customer code can be created, allowing the same profile to be located by the code for reuse on subsequent orders.
. Choose an easily remembered code of up to 8 alphanumeric characters. If the code is aheady in use, OOES will prompt for another choice.
. The profile can be altered when needed.
3
. An individual user may wish to save more than one profile. Each
~ profile must be saved under a unique code. When completing the profile, note that the questions regarding customer name and telephone number require responses.
. After OOES has processed that information, a default setting is employed for similar questions. The user can confirm the default by just pressing the Enter key or can change the response with a new entry.
Review the profile and make any corrections before submitting the order. Flags During the order processing, the program will flag certain records because it recognizes problems. These flag codes will be displayed. After processing has been completed, the user can view citations by type and delete records, change the page counts, or add remarks before submitting the order. Example of prompt: View all in group (AL), Mismatches only (MI), over 025 pages (OV) or Quit (Q)?: If the user requests display of a record type, the citations will be displayed one at a time, and a menu will prompt for further user input. L For example:

ML - Mailing Lists Documents were found that include multiple pages of mailing lists-names and addresses. QY - Over the page limit Documents were found that were over the specified page limit to be flagged Order Types Users can specify a medium in which to receive the document, i.e., microfiche, paper, or aperture card, but cannot designate the method of reproduction. 'Ib automate the order system and speed up delivery of documents, most orders are blowbacks from microfiche to paper. Individual documents in the PDR may be available on microfiche only or on paper ; only. This information may not be discernible from the BRS record. , OOES refers to the selections available as group types. The order will be i processed by type. The same order number may be split into one or more types, ( which will be printed and handled separately. The code for the type of order follows the order number. At this time the online order system includes the following group types: dE- 48x fiche to fiche ; 2E- 24x fiche to fiche t dE- 48x fiche to paper 2E- 24x fiche to paper : DR - Drawings l MA - Manual Note: Offsite users cannot submit manual orders. Only an order form with a customer profile is ) generated; documents or fiche must be attached by the requester. PA - Paper Only paper is known to be available by OOES.

1 Online Order Entry System (OOES) Order Cancellation Be certain all order items are correct before submitting the order. Previous orders can be reviewed for status information or content but cannot be changed by users after submittal. The user has only are chance to cancel an order before it has been submitted (by choosing the C reponse at the following prompt): Would you like to submit the order (S), view the order (V), hold the order (II), or cancel the order (C)? Since most orders are transmittad directly to the copy service, it may be too late to cancel it after submittal. Only POR staff can change the status of an online order after submittal. Oversize Drawings Most oversize drawings are stored in the PDR on aperture cards (cards containing a single drawing in microfiche form). Some drawings have been indexed separately (DTC = DRAW), others are just referenced in the title as enclosures. The drawings will be available for reproduction as reduced or as full-size blowbacks to paper or as aperture cards. The customer profile includes a query regarding drawings: Will you accept oversize drawings (Y/N)? Page Counts The number in the EST PAGES field and the number of frames in the FICHE field may differ for various reasons; for example, the record may include a forwarding letter with attachments or an unindexed document may be attached. Check thefiche address on the citation before ordering.
. During order processing, the mismatches (MI) indicator should flag documents where page counts do not agree. Mismatches can be reviewed before submitting the order.
OOES uses the FICHE field to count the total number of pages. Records with duplicate fiche addresses will be removed by the program.
. During the order process, a menu allows the user to change the number of pages to be reproduced in individual documents, i.e., the user can choose to order a partial document.
. If an order for a partial document without a fiche address in the citation is to be submitted, be sure to provide the number of pages to be copied in the remarks. (Page count changes and remarks can be made while viewing the items in the order.)
. If the citation does not have a fiche address, OOES is unable to compute the number of pages or remove duplications.
Reproduction Irrnaround time for completion of online orders begins after the copy service receives the order, either by printing them directly (twice daily) or upon receipt from the PDR staff. NUREG/BR-0231 3y NRC Public Document Room September 1996 BRS Users' Manual

em APPENDIX A v) l DEFINING THE BRS RECORD The main PDR bibliographic database consists primarily of descriptive citations to
- documents indexed sir.ce October 1978 from NRC's Nu
- lear Document System.
Selected sets of records have also been backfitted into the system. BRS also contains two earlier databases: the Potomac Research, Inc. (PRI) data file and the Department of Energy Power Reactor Docket Information (PRDI) data file. These records were indexed using different methodologies and vocabularies. BRS field contents for each of the three BRS databases are described briefly in this appendix. Note that individual records contain only fields with data. For further information on searching BRS fields, see Chapter 7. i For BRS tracking system records, see Chapter 13. 4 NUCLEAR DOCUMENT SYSTEM RECORDS l The main BRS database comprises more than 2 million records indexed since October 1978 and added to BRS in descending record identifier (RID) order. The ! RID numbers on the records reflect the date on which the records were loaded on BRS, not the date indexed or the document date. See Chapter 9 for information
; about RIDS. l G #
Citations added since 1995 may dso contain the full text of the document. See Chapters 8,10, and 11 for information on full text. BRS Fields Fields in the current BRS records are listed below: Accession Number (ACN): Searchable field containing a unique 10-digit document i ID (YYMMDD####). Author Affiliation (AA): Searchable field containing the organization with which I the author of the document is associated.

. Since a 48x fiche card has 363 frames and can contain any number of documents, the fiche address is an important location tool.
. The 48x fiche address can be used to calculate the size of the document. The size may include enclosures or attachments. For example, the forwarding letter of a package includes the fiche address for the complete package.
. Take note of the ending fiche card number, since a single large document may be filmed on several fiche cards.
. Some microfiche card numbers appearing in the fiche field may not be available in the PDR collection. The following 48x series microfiche are not in the PDR:
00001 - 00999 02000 - 03999 65000 - 73999 91000 - and above
. Certain records (especially of documents indexed before 1981) may not have a 48x fiche address.
. If a BRS citation does not contain a valid 48x fiche address, the PDR should have another source for the document, either on fiche or paper. Contact the reference staff.

'v' OTI!ER SOURCES FOR ELECTRONIC FULL TEXT ,
In addition to full-text files available on BRS (see Chapter 8), there are currently two other sources for PDR documents in electronic form. Those sources, which are described in this appendix, are:
. NRC Bulletin Board System (DBS) on Fedworld
. A PDR Standing Order for Documents on Diskette ABOUT NRC AND TIIE PDR BULLETIN BOARD SYSTEM AT FEDWORLD NRC at FedWorld is an enhanced electronic bulletin board system (BBS) accessed through the facilities of the U.S. Department of Commerce National Technical Information Service (NTIS). This subsystem of FedWorld was established in response to the NRC policy to improve communications with the nuclear industry and the public and to make information on NRC's licensed activities more readily available to all. l I
NRC at Fedworld { The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) subsystems can be accessed through the Library of Files. The NRC BBS contains many file libraries and
/O forums for communicating with NRC, Some forums and libraries allow users to !
post / view messages, upload files as official comments on rulemaking, programs, or i other matters for which NRC has requested public comment, and view or ; download files associated with those comments. Background files on a particular j rule, program, or other matter are avt.ilable for viewing or downloading from the ! file libraries. Many files are in ASCII text or compressed to . ZIP files. I PDR Bulletin Board ' 1 The Public Document Room (PDR) maintains a Library of Files on FedWorld. The PDR system provides easy access to (1)information about PDR service for
~
the public;(2) current news about NRC's public documents available on the online ' database (Bibliographic Retrieval System, BRS); (3) dial up connection to BRS via the FedWorld gateway;(4) Commission and Advisory Committee meeting , announcements; and (5) an extensive collection of recently issued unclassified NRC ' documents. The Bulletin Board is updated daily by PDR staff (FTP files are updated the next day) and files are posted for 30 days. Most files are available in ASCII text or in

Other Sources for Electronic Full Text STANDING ORDER FOR SELECTED DOCUMENTS ON DISKETTE A selected group of NRC documents is available on diskette. Each week the PDR staff produces one or more diskettes. 'I) pes of documents include Commission meeting transcripts, daily event reports, plant status reports, headquarters reports, preliminary notifications of occurrences, press releases, SECY papers, Fedeml Register notices, Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance reports, speeches, and staff requirements memoranda.
. Not all document types will be available each week. The number of diskettes produced will vary depending on the number and size of the files received by the PDR from NRC offices in a given week.
. The diskettes are reproduced by the PDR reproduction contractor and delivered as requested on the standing order form. Customers will be billed for standing orders through the copy service contractor.
Current reproduction fee charges can be obtained from PDR staff.
. To receive the diskettes, customers should submit a signed " Request for Standing Order" to the PDR staff. The form is available from PDR staff, and contains a list of items available on standing order.
Cancellation or alterations to standing orders must be submitted in writing to PDR staff.
. Most files are in ASCII text format.
DISCLAIMER REGARDING ELECTRONIC DOCUMENTS ON DISK The electronic documents are not necessarily identical to the corresponding documents in paper or microform. Some of the differences follow:
. Fedeml Register Notices (FRNs) are being provided on disk
, simultaneously when submitting them for publication. Therefore, they are not in Fedemi Register format and lack Fedem! Register page numbers. Note: Only FRNs on proposed / final rulemaking and policy statements are included.
. In the case of other documents, only those parts being produced electronically by the NRC are included. Attachments may, therefore, be available in paper and microform only. Attachments that are included in electronic form may require reformatting.
. Meeting transcripts reficct the record taken by the reporter.
Handouts, content of visuals, etc. are not captured. Similarly, users are cautioned that integrity of the electronic data may be lost in transmission, from deterioration of the disk or improper handling, etc. Although every effort is made to ensure that the information contained in each document is accurate, documents obtained from the diskette program are not considered official documents. Every subscriber / user explicitly acknowledges that all information obtained via the diskette program is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. The entire risk of acting on information obtained via the diskette program, including the entire cost of all necessary remedies, is with those who choose to act on such information and not with the operators of the diskette program.

APPENDIX E O ONLINE HELP FOR COMMAND ACCESS V TIIE WIIAT IS OR ??, COMMAND The WHAT IS command is a limited BRS online help facility which provides explanatory text for certain coded or abbreviated values. The command can be entered in two ways: L 'Iyping WHAT, pressing the Tab key, typing IS, and pressing the Tab key again followed by the value to be searched, pulls up a hit, which must be viewed with LOOK or DISP, then dropped from the screen to continue a search. 1
. 2, 'Iyping ??, followed by the value to be searched, displays the result and '
I returns to the search prompt. (This method is obviously faster, but the l resulting display is not exactly identical.) If a help request is entered for which no information is available, BRS will respond with the following error message:
*NO DATA ON RECORD FOR Tills INQUIRY ,
1 3 The help facility provides definitions for the following values. (The first example illustrates both search methods):

Each selection contains submenus as well as command lines at the bottom of the semen providing directional choices for moving around within screens and menus. T searcher can leave the menu mode by typing BRS at any screen or typing the conesponding number where EXIT TO BRS is a choice on the menu. MENU ACCESS CONTENTS A description of each BRS menu access feature follows: BRS ANNOUNCEMEN'7"' This portion of MENU ACCESS is used to provide detailed information on changes to BRS, new PDR programs, etc. It replaces some of the messages that appear at the initial logon screen. Short messages of a more ephemeral nature, such as prospective BRS downtime, will still be announced at logon. Announcements are intended to be temporary, but the time limit on retention will vary with the message. ONLINE TUTORIAL The online 'Ibtorial has been available to the public since January 1994. It is
!ctended to orient the new password holder to the contents of BRS records and y uch format. Infrequent users who want to refresh their knowledge of BRS or look up a particular command syntax may also wish to use it. See Chapter 4 for more information.
ASSISTED SEARCH This search mode was installed on BRS in July 1994. Assisted search is designed for infrequent users or those who prefer to search using menus rather than commar.ds. Chapter 3 has more information. ONLINE ORDER The Online Order Entry System (OOES) has been available on BRS since July 1991 and was added as a selection in menu access in July 1994. It operates from the BRS command mode and is also a selection in the assisted search submenus. Chapter 14 has more information about OOES.
