Description

The temperatures of the borehole seals are almost completely determined by the thermal evolution of the surrounding rock.

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 borehole seals is made. 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 borehole seals is made.
