formation. The heat will eventually be transferred to the atmosphere and, if the tempera-<br />

tures and temperature gradients have not exceeded values that would cause damage to the for-<br />

mation or adversely affect the containment integrity or the environment, the formation will<br />

return essentially to its initial state. The maximum surface temperature increase in any<br />

case is not expected to exceed about 0.5 0 C. This aspect is discussed more fully in Sec-<br />

tion 5.5 and in DOE/ET-0029.
