RCSLK8: reactor-coolant-system leak-rate determination for PWRs. User's guide

RCSLK8 is a computer program that was developed to analyze the leak tightness of the primary cooling system for any pressurized-water reactor. From system conditions, water levels in tanks, and certain system design parameters, RCSLK8 calculates the loss of water from the cooling system and the increase of water in the leakage collection system during an arbitrary time interval. The program determines the system leak rates and displays or prints a report of the results. For initial application of the program at a reactor, RCSLK8 creates a file of system parameters and stores it for future use. RCSLK8 was designed for use in the field with Osborne 1 Portable Computers equipped with double-density disk drives.
