FEP Effects
Description of FEP Effects
Exothermic reactions will alter the temperature and thereby affect the properties of the EBS and surrounding materials. Dissipation of heat by conduction and possibly convection will act to limit any overall temperature change. The most significant exothermic reaction in the supercontainer will be cement hydration. Corrosion and waste dissolution reactions may also be exothermic.
