NRC pulls its online library over security concerns
OMB Watch - NRC Removes All Nuclear Information from Its Public Website
This just in: NRC Restores web docs. Thanks Jim!
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) pulled its entire public reading room offline (editor’s note: Oct 25th, and as of today, Nov10th, they’re still offline!) after stories broke about possibly sensitive material on the website. They agency defended its action by saying it is trying its best to balance security and right-to-know.
Here’s the NRC’s news item for October 25th explaining themselves. Strangely though, ” No classified or safeguards material is now or has ever been permitted on the NRC Web site.” So why are they pulling access to public information?
[Thanks OMBWatch!]
