After a shipping cask has been designed for a certain type of spent fuel, the number of assemblies it can carry is fixed, as are the thicknesses of the various steel shells, the neutron shield, and the gamma shield. The question then becomes ''What other types of spent fuel may be shipped in the cask.'' Using the same neutron and gamma source terms, miscellaneous correlations, and one-group cross sections found in the CAPSIZE program, a fast new interactive shielding program called KWIKDOSE has been written for the IBM-PC which computes and displays a 2-D table showing the total dose rate ten feet from the centerline of a cask, as a function of the spent fuel's burnup and cooling time.
