Dear Cindy Bloom,
When I tried to use the link you gave I got the following message:
"Server not responding.
Our website is experiencing technical difficulties.
We are aware of the problem and hope to have it resolved shortly. Thank you for your patience."
I have been getting this message for the past several weeks. It appears that NRC website is facing some prolonged technical difficulties!. They are unable to fix it. I thought that a "snag" which appeared to be temporary and technical could be corrected without difficulty.
A few years ago, the website of the Indian Atomic Energy Regulatory Board was hacked by miscreants; They pasted some unwanted messages on the site; our staff could correct them in an hour. Indian press reported the event widely.I had several calls from the print and electronic media as I was then Secretary of the Board and the Director, Information and Technical Services Division.
The hacking was a blessing in disguise! our site had unusually large number of hits for the following several days. Some members of the media wanted to know whether any secrets have been stolen. I had a hard time convincing the gullible that we do not have any secrets in our web site!
I am keen to know which other countries are facing the difficulty with the NRC site. It appears that the snag is not hitting USA,Bulgaria,Israel and Norway. The NRCsite is not accessible from Australia and India.
I shall appreciate receiving status messages from other countries to me personally and not to the group.
Regards
K.S.Parthasarathy

I'm in the U.S. I tried to get to NRC's website this morning and it sent
me to http://www.nrc.gov.edgesuite.net/failover.html. These Radsafe
messages remind me that I've encountered this message several times in the
last couple of weeks.
