The maximum credible accident for the RHIC magnet cryostats has been identified with a heat load extrapolated from the loss of vacuum experiment for RHIC dipole magnet DRD-009 in MAGCOOL. The venting requirements for each of the cryogenic lines was evaluated and the corresponding pressure drops calculated. The results show the pressure drop in this system is less than the 21% maximum allowable working pressure guideline.
