In the case of slightly or moderately exothermic packages, at this stagein the studies, flows have been taken into account that are considered "reasonable" from the point ofview of the construction and operation of the repository.The annual flows of different types of packages are summarized in Table 6.1.2, which also shows theorders of magnitude of the duration of emplacement in repository (assuming continuous operationwith regular flows).DOSSIER 2005 ARGILE -ARCHITECTURE AND MANAGEMENT OF A GEOLOGICAL DISPOSAL SYSTEM257/495
