Explanation of how the FEP is treated
Intact canister - Resaturation/ "thermal" period. Not relevant.
Intact canister - Long-term after saturation and "thermal" period. Negleted since liquefaction from a short pulse cannot occur in a high density bentonite, due to high effective stresses.
Intact canister - Earthquakes. Neglected since liquefaction from a short pulse cannot occur in a high density bentonite, due to high effective stresses.
