FEP Effects

Description of FEP Effects

The existence of chemical gradients within the EBS, induced naturally or resulting from GDF material and waste emplacement, may influence the transport of contaminants. Chemical gradients may exist at the interfaces between different GDF materials and between GDF and geological materials.
