Explanation of how the FEP is treated

Intact canister - Resaturation/ "thermal" period. Simplified assumptions of mass transport of dissolved species during saturation. Intact canister - Long-term after saturation and "thermal" period. Neglected if hydraulic conductivity < 10-12 m/s. Intact canister - Earthquakes. See process Bu09.
