Explanation of how the FEP is treated

Failed canister, Resaturation/ "thermal" period: (No failures are expected this period). Failed canister, Long-term after saturation and "thermal" period: Can be neglected as long as the bentonite part remains in place. The case of lost sealing is assessed in the modelling of the geosphere.
