Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS)

The Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) is an information system that provides access to all image and text documents that the NRC has made public since November 1, 1999, as well as bibliographic records (some with abstracts and full text) that the NRC made public before November 1999. The NRC continues to add several hundred new documents daily. ADAMS permits full-text searching and enables users to view document images, download files, and print locally.

Two methods of using ADAMS are available:

Web-based access - search ADAMS with a Web-based search engine. New documents released during the day are added later that night. Most documents released before November 1999 are not available.

Citrix-based access - access ADAMS using Citrix software, which must first be downloaded. Through the Citrix software, users may search for and retrieve documents using ADAMS features. This is different from browsing documents on the Internet and using a Web search engine. New documents are added throughout the day.

The Electronic Hearing Docket for the high-level waste proceeding is also available, along with the Overview for Using the Electronic Hearing Docket.
