Explanation of how the FEP is treated

Intact canister, Resaturation/ "thermal" period: Temperature as a function of distance from deposition holes is calculated. However, no specific estimate of the temperature in the central area is made. The temperature in this component will under all circumstances remain relatively low. Intact canister, Long-term after saturation and "thermal" period: Temperature as a function of distance from deposition holes is calculated. However, no specific estimate of the temperature in the central area is made. The temperature in this component will under all circumstances remain relatively low.
