Explanation of how the FEP is treated

Excavation/operation: Neglected since sensitivity studies show that it takes very specific excavation/deposition sequences for heat generation to influence. Temperate: Modelling of peak canister temperature, assesment of distribution of peak temperature among the canisters and temperature distribution in rock. Periglacial: Site-specific 2-D estimations of temperature distribution with depth. Glacial: Site-specific 1-D estimations of sub-glacial permafrost- and freezing depths. Earthquakes: Not relevant.
