# Eskom says Koeberg Nuclear Power Station’s Unit 2 has successfully passed a critical nuclear safety test, confirming the structural integrity and leak-tightness of its containment building. The Integrated Leak Rate Test is conducted every ten years as part of regulatory requirements. In a statement, Eskom says independent international experts confirmed that the unit met all safety standards. The milestone supports Koeberg’s 20-year operating licence extension. Maintenance work will continue before Unit 2 returns to service.
