NRC UPGRADES ITS AGENCYWIDE DOCUMENTS
ACCESS AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Printable Version PDF Icon


The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is upgrading its online Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) to improve its functionality and performance.

The new software, ADAMS 4.0, will provide system users with several new features and upgrades. Users will be offered enhanced printer support and search capabilities.

The upgrade will require the ADAMS database to be completely rebuilt and re-indexed. This process, including testing, is expected to take approximately two weeks and is scheduled to begin during the Labor Day weekend. During this period, the ADAMS Public Library will still be available to the public and new individual documents will be added daily, but groups, or document “packages” will not. Users trying to retrieve document “packages” will be able to call the NRC Public Document Room for assistance where they will be provided with the information they need to retrieve all individual documents contained within the “package.” Other than this inconvenience, all ADAMS documents will be accessible during the upgrade period.

Additional details about the upgrade are available at: http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html on the NRC web site.

For more information on the new ADAMS enhancements, please contact Thomas Smith at 301-415-7204, or toll-free at 1-800-368-5642, e-mail TES@nrc.gov.
