Explanation of how the FEP is treated
Failed canister - Resaturation/ "thermal" period. Neglected if density at saturation > 1,650 kg/m3, otherwise bounding calculation (no failures are expected this period).
Failed canister - Long-term after saturation and "thermal" period. Neglected if density at saturation > 1,650 kg/m3, otherwise bounding calculation.
Failed canister - Earthquakes. Neglected if density at saturation > 1,650 kg/m3, otherwise bounding calculation.
