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.
