Electronic Reading Room

NRC releases several hundred documents to the public each work day. The Web site contains contextual information and the documents that are most pertinent to NRC regulatory activities. Many of the documents are in Basic References or Document Collections (see bulleted list). The rest are available either from our record retrieval system, ADAMS, or from our Public Document Room. Documents posted at the Web site are also retrievable from ADAMS. The reference librarians at our Public Document Room can help you find a document in ADAMS or on the Web site.
