The relief valves that were tested included four each in the reactor coolant loop and in the purification system. Test results are tabulated which indicated that all valves operated at or witai the prescribed limits of 2530 plus or minus 50 psig in the "as left" condition. Most of the valves had to be popped and adjusted several times befors the valves would pop at a pressure within the prescribed limitations. Some of the difficulties encountered during the testing are discussed. (B.O.G.
