Tests were carried out to determine the magnitude and location of primary system leakage. The system leak rates were 4.1 and 14.1 gallons per hour for two tests. A relief valve leak rate of 20.6 gallons per hour of primary system fluid existed for the 6 relief valves tested during the first test. All valves appeared to be contributing to the leakage. Similar data obtained during the second test indicated a relief valve leak rate of 0.4 gallons per hour for 7 valves tested, and only one appeared to be leaking. (M.C.G.)
