Explanation of how the FEP is treated

Intact canister - Resaturation/ "thermal" period. Neglected under unsaturated conditions. For saturated conditions the treatment is the same as for "Long-term". Intact canister - Long-term after saturation and "thermal" period. Neglected if hydraulic conductivity < 10-12 m/s since diffusion would then dominate. Intact canister - Earthquakes. See process Bu09.
