'''Features, Events, and Processes''' (FEP) are terms used in the field of [[radioactive waste]] management to define relevant scenarios for safety assessment studies. For a radioactive waste repository, ''features'' would include the characteristics of the site, such as the type of [[soil]] or [[geological formation]] the repository is to be built on or under. ''Events'' would include things that may or will occur in the future, like, ''e.g.'', [[glaciation]]s, [[drought]]s, [[earthquake]]s, or formation of [[fault]]s. ''Processes'' are things that are ongoing, such as the [[erosion]] or [[subsidence]] of the landform where the site is located on, or near.
Several catalogues of FEP's are publicly available, a.o., this one elaborated for the [[Nuclear Energy Agency|NEA]] [[Clay Club]] dealing with the disposal of radioactive waste in deep [[clay]] formations
