ASSCOPS (Analysis of Simultaneous Sodium Combustion in Pool and Spray) has been developed for analyses of thermal consequences of sodium leak and fire accidents in LMFBRs. This report presents a description of the computational models, input and output data as the user's manual of ASSCOPS version 2.1. ASSCOPS is an integrated computational code based on the sodium pool fire code SOFIRE II developed by the Atomics International Division of Rockwell International, and on the sodium spray fire code SPRAY developed by the Hanford Engineering Development Laboratory in the U.S. The users of ASSCOPS need to specify the sodium leak conditions (leak flow rate and temperature, etc.), the cell geometries (cell volume, surface area and thickness of structures, etc.), and the atmospheric initial conditions such as gas temperature, pressure, and composition. ASSCOPS calculates the time histories of atmospheric temperature, pressure and of structural temperature.
