Tests performed on the Shippingport PWR to determine the magnitude and sources of primary coolant water leakage from the reactor coolant system are described. Two of the pressurizer relief valves are found to account for 80% of the total leaksge of 56 gal/hr from six pressure rehief and reactor relief valves. Other valves are found to have insignificant leakage. The total primary coolant water leakage is found to be 26 gal/hr. (auth)
