SCANS (Shipping Cask ANalysis System) is a microcomputer-base system of computer programs and database developed at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) for evaluating safety analysis reports on spent fuel shipping casks SCANS is an easy-to-use system that calculates the global response to impact loads pressure loads and thermal conditions, providing reviewers with an independent check on analyses submitted by licensees. SCANS is based on microcomputers compatible with the IBM-PC family of computers. The system is composed of a series of menus, input programs, cask analysis programs, and output display programs. All data is entered through fill-in-the-blank input screens that contain descriptive data requests. Analysis options are based on regulatory cases described in the Code of Federal Regulations (1983) and Regulatory Guides published by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission in 1977 and 1978. 10 refs., 50 figs., 2 tabs.
