Explanation of how the FEP is treated
Intact canister, Resaturation/ "thermal" period: Osmotic effects are neglected due to the lack of osmotic flow in the tunnels.
Intact canister, Long-term after saturation and "thermal" period: Osmotic effects are neglected due to the lack of osmotic flow in the tunnels.
