NRC NEWS U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION Office of Public Affairs Telephone: 301/415-8200 Washington, D.C. 20555-0001 E-mail: opa@nrc.gov Web Site: http://www.nrc.gov/OPA No.05-022 February 4, 2005 NRC RESTORES WEB-BASED ACCESS TO ON-LINE LIBRARY Documents in the Nuclear Regulatory Commissions on-line Agency-wide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) are available again through a convenient, user-friendly Web-based access tool.

On Oct. 25 the NRC suspended public access to the ADAMS on-line library and some other parts of its Web site to review documents and remove any that could reasonably be expected to aid a potential terrorist. As previously announced, the agency has already restored non-sensitive documents in several categories, including those pertaining to reactors and selected hearings, and allowed access to parts of ADAMS by using CITRIX software.

Now users may access documents directly from the NRC Web site, rather than only through CITRIX. This Web-based ADAMS, which was initially available in January 2003, features basic and advanced search options for users to search and retrieve files of publicly available documents.

Although links to some documents in ADAMS are not active yet, we expect to restore them soon.

The NRC continues its review to restore non-sensitive documents to its Web site.
