How Nuclear AI Tools of Awesomeness Works

Type a question in plain language and choose a mode. Claude calls the NRC ADAMS Public Search (APS) API directly, server-side, and shows results in the chat. Each step appears below the last.

General ADAMS Research

For open-ended lookups — find a document, check what's on file for a plant, read an amendment, answer a question. Claude searches, summarizes what it found in plain language, and shows a linked table of results. It does not open documents on its own: it stops there and asks what you'd like it to read — with an approximate cost — so you decide before any tokens are spent reading.

Design-Basis Change Analysis via ADAMS

For structured gap analysis — what changed in a system's licensing basis over a date range. Claude follows a five-bucket methodology and stops at two checkpoints to get your approval before doing expensive work.

Plan & confirm
Claude resolves the plant to its docket number(s) and lays out a five-bucket search plan (license amendments, 50.59 reports, UFSAR, ISI/relief requests, generic/vendor issues). It stops and waits for you to reply "go" before searching.
Search & triage
Claude runs all five buckets against ADAMS, rates every result (★★★ HIGH / ★★ MEDIUM / ★ LOW / — NOISE), and shows the triage. It stops again for your approval — and gives a token cost estimate — before opening documents.
Read & report
After you approve, Claude reads each document and produces a plain-language Design-Basis Change Analysis report with linked citations. Save it as a PDF with the button that appears on the final report.

At any checkpoint you can reply with a correction instead of "go" — change the dockets, the date range, the ratings, or anything else — and Claude adjusts before continuing.

Risk Management Plans

Not related to ADAMS at all — this mode drafts a Qualitative Risk Management Plan (QL-RMP) following ENERCON's QPM-003 procedure and QF-034 template. Describe the project and/or upload source documents (.docx or .pdf); Claude identifies risk exposures, rates Likelihood and Impact, and produces a risk exposure table. The app computes each risk's color (Green/Yellow/Red) itself from a fixed matrix — Claude never picks the color directly. If your first message doesn't give Claude enough to work with, it will ask for more before drafting anything. The final draft downloads as a real Word document with the button that appears on it — always a first-pass draft meant for ENERCON's normal RMP review and approval process, not a signed, approved plan.

Model choice

Sonnet 5 is the default and handles most searches well. Haiku is for learning the tool and basic functional testing only.
