Tools that are available from this page include Plugins, Viewers, Other Tools, and access to the latest version of two Web browsers.

When you access a file on NRC's Web site that is followed by one of the Plugin or Viewer icons, you may need to download a tool to view or use the file. Next to each icon in the table is the name and purpose of the tool represented by the icon.

The vendor for each tool allows Web users to download the tool free of charge. Select the name of the tool you wish to download in order to reach the vendor's instruction page. Follow their instructions for downloading.

The links within the table on this page will take you away from the NRC Web site to another Web site. In most cases, you can return to the NRC site by using the back button on your browser's tool bar.
