*Strength and leakproof testing of Temelin unit 1 containment took place during the period from 14 December 1998 through 5 January 1999. The containment met all strength and leakproof criteria. The leak amount found during the leakproof testing is one order lower than the prescribed values. The test results achieved can be compared to the best results achieved abroad.
