NRC Enhances Its Online Public Database

A more functional search engine is one of the many changes the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has made to its online database, the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). The system is a recordkeeping tool for the public to search full texts of documents.
Updates to ADAM include:
  • the ability for users to see up to 500 search results in the folder contents panel; 
  • the ability to save a search with its related search criteria as a web link; 
  • the ability to change a previously saved query by editing the criteria;
  • the ability to export a list of documents as hypertext markup language or as a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
