NRC REGULATORY ISSUE SUMMARY 2000-10
TECHNICAL INFORMATION TO FACILITATE PUBLIC ACCESS TO THE
U. S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSIONS AGENCYWIDE
DOCUMENTS ACCESS AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (ADAMS)
Addressees
All NRC licensees.
Intent
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing this regulatory issue summary (RIS)
to provide individuals and organizations outside of NRC with information that will assist them in
accessing via the Internet the publicly available portion of NRC's Agencywide Documents
Access and Management System (ADAMS). This RIS provides detailed technical (computing)
information for use by network or system administrators in resolving certain types of problems;
directions for locating updated materials on the Internet, as they become available; and
directions for contacting NRC staff who will provide support on this endeavor.
Background Information
On November 1, 1999, NRC initiated ADAMS as NRC's method of providing public access to
newly created and received publicly available agency documents. Publicly available documents
may be viewed by organizations and individuals outside of NRC by way of an ADAMS facility
available to users through the Internet.
Summary of Issue
This RIS provides information to Internet users outside NRC who require assistance with the
ADAMS publicly available document collection. As with any new technology, some users may
encounter difficulties when attempting to access this collection for the first time. To facilitate
such access, NRC is providing several avenues for users to obtain information and assistance
related to this system. Because NRC's experience indicates that reported difficulties can cover
a broad range of complexity and may come from users with widely differing computing skills, a
range of support options is provided. As described below, NRC provides three methods for
obtaining information and support for using this system.
Page 2 of 3
First, ADAMS access information is now available on NRC's public Web site. From time to
time, additional or updated information may be posted. We encourage users experiencing
problems or having questions about ADAMS to check these pages as they may contain the
needed information. ADAMS access information is available on the Internet at the following
address:
http://www.nrc.gov/NRC/ADAMS/index.html
Second, users may contact NRC's Public Document Room (PDR). Personnel familiar with
ADAMS are available by telephone or e-mail to provide support in using ADAMS, and in
formulating search strategies, and to answer any other questions users may have. Solutions to
frequently encountered problems will be offered, and the PDR staff has access to NRC's
technical staff if more specialized support is required. Every effort will be made by these
support personnel to provide a prompt and thorough resolution of any problem. The PDR staff
will be available for telephone support Mondays through Fridays, except Federal holidays, from
8:15 a.m. through 4:15 p.m. eastern time; at other times, callers may leave a recorded
message. The PDR may be reached at the following phone numbers and e-mail address:
NRC Public Document Room
Telephone: 202-634-3273 or 800-397-4209
E-mail: pdr@nrc.gov
Finally, some users have reported difficulties when accessing ADAMS from within a network
outside of NRC that is equipped with firewall technology. Because of the frequency of this
problem, NRC is providing the attached information (Attachment 1 and 2) to facilitate resolution.
This information is intended for use by the individuals who are responsible for maintaining
firewall support and configuration. It provides technical (computing) details that NRC believes
will be of assistance in resolving any such access difficulties. Further assistance in response to
questions related to this information may be obtained by contacting the PDR at the phone
numbers or e-mail address previously noted.
Addressees should be aware that changes to their firewall or other computing configuration
may create opportunities for unauthorized access by unauthorized third parties ("hackers") or
may have other unwanted effects. Although this information is provided in good faith as a
general guide, any or all of it may be inapplicable to a particular installation, and the user
assumes all risk arising from any actions he or she may take in response to the information
provided. NRC cannot be responsible for any damages or other negative impacts that may
result.
