Description
The concrete part of the bottom plate will have thermal properties similar to those of the rock and will have a very modest influence on the temperature, whereas the copper plate will contribute to distribute the heat nelow the buffer horizontally.

Explanation of how the FEP is treated
Intact canister, Resaturation/ "thermal period: Temperature as a function of distance from the deposition holes is calculated. However, no specific estimate of the temperature in the bottom plate is made, since thermal effects on the properties of the bottom plate are disregarded.
Intact canister, Long-term after saturation and "thermal" period: Temperature as a function of distance from the deposition holes is calculated. However, no specific estimate of the temperature in the bottom plate is made, since thermal effects on the properties of the bottom plate are disregarded.
